    Exclamation Blood in stool!

    Hi,

    Well I just went for a Number 2 and when I wiped, the tissue was literally COVERED in bright red, fresh blood and there was like a huge blotch of it.

    When I wiped again there was nothing there.

    I'm 17 years old and the stool was solid and not thinned out or anything. I had diarrhoea a few days ago but that was because of eating a lot of junk food, like I have a terrible diet. There was a lot of mucus though with my diarrhoea- but no noticeable blood. I also haven't been constipated in a long time.

    This is the first time I've EVER noticed blood though

    And when I had a look at the stool in the toilet (I didn't touch it or anything), there was no blood and nothing was black, it was just noticeable on the toilet paper.

    I have no discomfort, stomach pains and everything feels absolutely normal

    It looked a bit like this, which I found on the internet, only there was a little less blood and the black thing wasn't on the paper (warning: it's quite disgusting): http://hemorrhoid-treatment-advice.n...ng-324x160.jpg

    From a google search, it sounds like it's probably haemorrhoids but what if it's bowel cancer?

    Should I give it a week and if it happens again I'll see a doctor?

    Thanks

    EDIT: Now I think about it, I do feel a tiny sensation from inside that area. It doesn't hurt and it's almost unnoticeable but yeah

    EDIT: I just sat down on the toilet and there was a small blotch of blood when I wiped again (I didn't pass anything). WHAT IF I BLEED TO DEATH?
