As detailed in my infamous story (found here: http://www.poopreport.com/Stories/Content/rectal.html), I suffered from poop in the stool once. I went to the doctor, and after violating me, he declared that I was fit as a fiddle, and this blood was an anamoly. However, he did sufficiently scare me with stories of colon cancer, so be aware: blood in poop can be a big warning sign of colon cancer. And while the idea of pooping into a detachable bag because your colon has been removed sounds like fun, I'm sure the novelty would wear off, so its probably best to get your bloody stool checked out.

YUO SUKC AT TEH INTARNET!!!!!!11

Again, my endless attemp to explain blood in the stool. If it's bright red, don't panic. If it is dark and tarry and maroon, panic. Bright red indicates a surface level cut or 'fissure' in the anus. Dark and maroon indicats possible colo-rectal Cancer. In either case, consult your doctor if it has happened rarely in the past.

This probably has nothing to do with this case, but I've heard eating beets can lead to red spots in the feces. I guess they don't fully digest and come out the other end.

Back when i was in 8th grade i had blood in my stool. I had it checked out and i was fine. Then in 9th grade i got ecoli. i had tons of blood in my crap. Now this very year i had a slight fissure by my anus. So after reviewing my crap in the toilet i was surprised to see tons of blood. my advice is that if there is blood in your stool, you don't have to panic. There are lots of other things besides colon cancer that could be happening.

When you get super drunk you get dehydrated, right? Hence, a hangover is a dried out brain. Well, when you dry your system out your poo is not well lubed up, shitting everyday poop out could actually match an attempt at squeezing a brillo pad out of your ass!!! Drink lots of water after boozing! It's not just good for your brain!

I have heard from Vita before. She isn't too bright. She thinks a hot date is a night at McDonald's with a fresh pack of cigarettes. The dumb bitch was probably having her period, but is too fucking dumb to know that her cunt will bleed once a month.

Oh shit Vita posted this shit, Hey vita, you dumb bitch, it's not from the alcohol, its from your fucked up eating habits! McDonalds, ciggs, your colon is full of bacteria, and rotting meats.

It's called McDonalds Colon.

I got a bit freaked out the other day when I saw thick red spoltches in my poop. I had to look real close to realize that they were undigested red peppers.

I disagree with Trashcanman's prognosis: if you find any blood in your poop (blood that's not obviously coming from an anal fissure, and you can usually use toilet paper to test that), you should go to the doctor.

Is it really bad if there is blood in my poop?

my girl only eats one time a day and she has blood in her stool. I keep telling her to eat and she dont want too.Its her new way of dieting. I hope that she will wake up one day and see what shes doing to her self. I love you Joanne and I don't want anything to happen to you Baby..,.

hey, i'm a skinny guy, and i just started a new diet of eating about 6 meals a day. . . i also just started to work out. . . AND, am taking suppliments to gain weight. anyways, i pooped a couple minutes ago and there was a lot of blood in the toilet. it didn't hurt and it was pretty bright red. i don't feel like anythings wrong. can anyone fill me in?

Same things happened to me. I have a regular diet but when I pooped there were spots of blood around the bowl and a fair bit of blood on the toilet paper. It didnt hurt but its happened previously and seems to be getting more frequent... so im gonna go see a doctor

I am a pretty cut guy for skinny guy, and started to eat atleast about 6 meals a day to gain weight. . and started to work out with taking suppliments to gain weight. I pooped blood "once yesterday" in the toilet. it didn't hurt and it was pretty bright red. havent seen it today. Should i be worried ?? (same issue like pablo had listed on 9-15-02)

I do occasionaly get drunk on the weekends but I noticed one day little spots of blood on the toilet paper none on my stool in the bowl though. The blood has been appearing for a week now and it does hurt a little when going to the bathroom. Should I be worried? By the way the color of the blood is light.

hey, um...im 15 and i exercise a lot, with running crosscountry and indoor track, it's hard not to...well anyway, i have a regular diet, and exept for the past few days when i only at 1 meal when i was sick, i eat a lot of food for a guy my size. Well, getting to the point, i felt as if i was gonna get some diarea or something, and when i finished with my buisness, i couldnt tell if my feces was bloody or not, but when i went to wipe, my toilet paper had a lot of blood on it. Would this be normal?

It's me again, I layed another turd, and this time expamined it, there was a bit of a normal color red mixed in with my feces, and there was more blood on my toilet paper, please help me, im kinda wondering if there is something wrong with me

How much blood did you guys poop?

not much

I'm very worried right now because this is a first. I had a really BAD case of the stomach flu. It lasted for about 3-4 days and I pooped around 30 times on the first day alone. I have went off and on pooping and just tonight I came across tarry blood in my stool. I have went so much I'm raw when I wipe and wanted to make sure it wasnt from my anus or a possible hemroid.

I am considering talking to my doctor because all of the symptoms are gone besides the constant runs.

What else could it be?

i havent really had any changes in my diet lately or anything but i have noticed that recently i have been pooping blood. i am getting kinda scared. the first time it happened it was a lot of blood and it looked pretty red... it also hurt. lately it has been happening, and there is still blood but not as much... im not sure if it is just an anal fissure (i am really hoping that it is only that) i am thinking about going to my doctor? should i try and wait it out? please help!

I took a shit tonight and when i got up my toilet was filled with BRIGHT red blood. And I mean a lot of it. It came out pretty easily. I'm scared shitless. I've been feeling tired alot for the past few months but I work alot of hours and don't get alot of sleep, so I figured that was why. But now I'm wondering if the two are connected. This has never happened to me before. Should I wait and see if it happens again, or see a doctor right away? By the way, I'm 20, and in pretty good shape, a little on the skinny side. Thanks for any help.

I have been seeing blood in my stool for the past three weeks. The blood is bright red, just like the color of blood if I cut my finger. It is also on the surface. Everytime, I move my bowel, I put a paper under my ass and catch the stool and look at it very very carefully. I don't see blood mixed in the stool, just on the surface. What could this be? This is the first time this happened. My ass has been itching for a long time though.

I've shit a couple of times since my origional post, and theres been no blood. If this happens again though I will definatly see a doctor.

I am getting some muscle after working out for about 9 months, and started to eat atleast about 6 meals a day to gain weight. . and started to work out with taking suppliments to gain weight. When I pooped there was light lines of blood around the curves of my crap and when I wipped my butt there was more blood there. it didn't hurt like when you force your stools. its been three days and the same thing happens. today I used the toilet and there were lines of light line again and I saw like a small cuagulation of blood in the toilet very small. I am freaking out. Should i be worried ?? (same issue like pablo and Mike had listed on 9-15-02) guys what supplements are you guys taking. I take GNC multi vitamis and vitamin c and AMIMAL MSTACK. LET ME KNOW. SREYES@CORP.GOAMERICA.NET

Same thing with me.First time though.It scared the shit out of me when I saw a few darkish red spots in my poo.But unlike everyone else,there wasn't any blood in the toilet or on the toilet paper just spots in the poo

for two days now my stools have hurt a lot! and when i wipe the tissues all red. my sis told me the same thing happened to her once before and someone told her it was just stress.. but i donno if this is the same. any of you guys have words of advice?

I just found blood in my poop and a little on the paper. Im 16 so it could be anything, right? From like hormones or something, right? I workout alot and i have smoked dope for about 7 or 8 months, could it be from that? when should i get checked out by a doctor?

I don't shit blood but I did give birth to a smelly piece of crap that moved on it's own. It spoke and said "don't flush, i won't hurt you" well I didn't and now we're married and have a shit load of kids... thought you should know.

Hi i was wondering i been pooping blood for almost a week i dont get any blood on the paper but when i flush and the water rushs up there is a little bit of blood should i see a docter or just wait it out plzz help im scared shit less by the way im 14

I been feeling really tired too just wanted to let yall know

i work out as well and drink juices with vitamin c in them all the time i also am shitting out bloody shit. i didnt change my diet but at the end of this week i think i'll call the doc.

TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE SCARED: Being scared adds stress to your life and stress can equal even more health problems. Clear your mind and GO SEE THE DOCTOR. Find out from your doc what's going on and then you can more confidently "self-assess" next time, hopefully without as much stress! Or seeing the doc may even save your life. You can't lose ...if you see the doc! That's what they're for! Peace, health, and happy poopin' to y'all.

my poop is green and bloody, i usually only have green and red blood after i drink, but i haven't drank in a week and it is. I eat a lot of eggs that aren't cook or boiled and not even out of the shell, do you think the chickies hatched and died inside me.

I just went and there was a lot of bright red blood in my toilet water and on the log. This has happened before, but not as much, and sometimes just on the toilet paper. Should I go to the doctor?

I can confirm that eating fijitas with red bell peppers in them can cause quite a scare. Red bell peppers do not seem to digest well.

P.S. For those with colorful vocabularies, please use discretion for the other readers. Thank you.

I just backed one out and had little traces of blood on the paper. I drank way too much last night. I'm wondering if it's related. I usually just fart alot. Now I'm freaked the hell out!

POOPY!

For about 3 days now when I go poop there is spots of blood in my poop. There is none on the toliet paper and none other than in my poop. I didn't eat anything red either.

Turns out I had dry skin around my anushole that cracked and bled when I wiped it. I took a shower and now everything is well and good.

I am 13 and yesterday i poopd bright red blood what does this mean? Is it hormones, puberty?

Hi, I thought that I just had some blood in my stool, but I don't have any other symptomes of anything. Should I get checked out anyways or wait to see if anything else comes of it. PS. Last night I ate a juicy red pepper. I am hoping that's all it is.

Well... only 1% of Colo-rectal cancer occurs in people under 30....probably most of those people have heridatary shit like that disease where u get hundreds of polyps..its probably a fissure or a hemorrhoid if it is bright red...

Hey my dad has had this happen in the past quite a bit and it is happening again! he said he is pooping bright red. the 2nd time it has happened he went to the doctor and he said it was some thing about his cells and he could die if it gets to bad. he wont go to the doctor! will someone fill me in?

Well, I just pooped. It was a pretty big one and it hurt really bad coming out. Like I wanted to scream, when I finished I looked down and there was a streak of blood down it. Because it hurt so bad coming out do you think that that had anything to do with it? I don't usually worry about this kind of stuff but when it comes to blood and it coming out parts it sin't supposed to I get a little "Up Tight" about it...

Take it from me, I have a colonostomy (a shit bag). If you see blood in your stool, just go check it out. I waited to long, and it turned into CANCER! But if you end up with cancer, it is not a death sentence, it just means your gonna fart in front of people occasionally. No biggie, fart on.

What if you don't have to poop and blood still comes out of the ass?

i crapped out like a handful if not more of dark, jelly, blood. when i wiped there was a good bit of blood there too. Please help

im 17 and a girl...when i go to the bathroom i cant see anythng in the toilet but when i wipe theres just a little little bit of blood...and being a girl at first i jsut thought it was my period but its def. not that, its bright red and its barely even any at all but of course im freaked out...if anyoen really knows what to do then plese help me bc im scared out of my MIND!!!

Colon Cancer is the 2nd leading cancer of death.

If it isn't painfull but blood, colon cancer.

If it is painful hemmoroids or gasterone bleeding or whatever it is called.

Matt I thought they said it's unlikely to have Colon Cancer if your young??!

you all are sick and should see a doctor for your bleedin asses. i feel bad for u. i hope really get some help.

If its Bright red and your young dont fucking worry so much, your going to be alright, wait for your next poop, if its still there go see a doctor, and even then your still going to be ok.

i have blood in my poop and its a maroonish color, so i went to the hospital and now they're gonna but a small camera up my bum to see whats wrong. iam worried, but i hope its not serious.

Im 27 and have had 2 bright red bloody crap sessions mixed with 2 non-bloody normal sessions in the last 3 days after returning from a 10 day trip in the wilderness. Im wondering if its E-coli or what have you. It doesnt hurt but I'll be hungry one day then not at all the next..and im crapping totally irregularly. I'm gonna see a doc but its gonna co$t me alot >:S I didnt realize how many healthy young ppl like me are having the same problem...maybe we should start the Orginazation of People with Bloody Stools (O.P.B.S)??? In any case good luck with your stools ppl..may they be blood free.

I used to poop blood all the time and I went to the doctor for it but strangely it went away. Now, as of yesterday, everytime I poop, the toilet is filled with blood! I don't have anal sex and I don't think it is hemmorroids, and my grandma had colon cancer. Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that I am vegan?

hi its me again. The hospital people called and told me that its justa minor problem and that I will be fine with some medication. I have been taking the medicine for 3 days and the blood has stopped! Some advice for everyone is that you should see a doctor if there is blood in your poop. Don't wait just go, the sooner the better.

sammy... what did they do to you!? did you have to go to the doctor!? if so... what exactly did they do!?

Hi,

I have been using Hydrocort 25mg suppositories form

a bleeding hemorid. Does anyone know how long it might take to heal. I have been using the medication for 5 days. My bowl movenents don't hurt as much but there is still blood on the fecies. I just had a complete blood work up which was normal so I do not think I have cancer.

Any feedback will be appreciated.:)

Zabe

My mom asked me to stop eating and only drink carrot juice. Is that neccessary?

Alright. I went to the bathroom, and I just shit out blood. It was kinda dark, and Its freaking me out. Should I see a doctor?

To be safe I would see your doctor.

Darker blood might indicate other problems than

hemroids. Don't worry yet,but please see your doctor

soon.

Zaber

I'm a little older than it seems most of you guys are on here...and I'm married too-wife is 30. My wife just called me into the bathroom. Last night she said she had blood when she wiped--I assured her it was probably just a hemmoroid or little split in her bunghole. But, tonight she called me in to show me and the whole toilet water was bright red--I mean it looked like a precursor to that scene from Dreamcatcher. :( Do we need to get her to an emergency room tonight or is this something that her dr. could just check out at her next checkup? It is scary.

Please do not wait until your wife's next check up.

I agree that she probably has a bleeding hemroid.

Your wife needs to be checked and put on medication

soon. I have been in the same situation before.

In my case the medication relived my bleeding and discomfort.

If your wife is in pain,has a tempature or has excesive

bleeding then you sould call your doctor ASAP and or

go to the ER.

Zabe

Well worried hubby. The same thing happened to me. Wow.. It happened four times with alot of blood even if I didn't go.. After words I would be really sore and sick to my stomach. but it has stopped for now. My boyfriend tried to get me to go when it stopped. But I will definetly go if it happens one more time. It is scarey. Something like this has never happened to me before.

Scared,
Please don't take this the wrong way.:)
Waiting for the next time is not a good idea.
Your symptoms,blood with out bowl movements and stomach problems are serious conditions.

Your boyfriend loves you and he happens to be giving you good advice. Being brave does not count much when one's body is a stake.

Better to be safe:)

I'm a 30 year old male. I've been seeing bright red streaks in my poop for about 3 months now. Off and on. One doc told me to get a colonoscopy and another doc said it is probably hemroids. I'm going to get it checked out. I heard there is this new procedure called a virtual colonoscopy has anyone heard of it. i have noticed that when I drink i tend to have a small amount of blood in the stool. The doc said drinking has nothing to do with it. I am curious since there are a couple of people on this site that tend to also see the trend.

Yes, the vertual colonoscopy a newer technology diagnostic tool. The procedure is painless but very expensive and most insurance plans will not pay for it.
The good old colonoscopy and a long with a good board certified doctor can provide excelent diagnostic care and treatment.

I have been scoped 5 times. Mostly for polops that were bleeding. I also have been treated for hemorids because the scope was able to seen the nature and severity.

Drinking can irritate the lining off your stomach,taking a few asprin the next moring can irritate the lining of your stomach and a hard bowl movement to dehdration all can cause a little blood in a post morning bowl movement.

I would recomend that you follow your doctor's advice.
Get the scope a good doctor will recomend the more advanced diagnostic treatment if deemed necessary.

Good Luck

I poop blood

I went to the doctor cause I am still going to the gym. I told him that in my poop I had stripes of blood and also in the paper when I wiped. He said I am to young to have cancer and not to worried (30) yrs old. gave me some cream to put inside my As...
The blood stopped coming. Advise don't force you stools when you use the toilet. Feels good to poop.........

Saint,
Cool deal. Howard Stern(the shock jock LOL) went on a
rant a few years ago on how to not force your poop.
I took his advice and when the first urge starts I
relax and let it linger a while before I go for the poo dump. LOL I must admit Howard's system of pooping worked for me.

Zaber

Anthony,
PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR ASAP.
This kind of bleeding needs to be checked by a doctor.
You may have bleeding hemoids and you may need to
get on some medication.

Zaber

Hi when i used the bathroom there was no poop in the stool it was just filled with blood it lasted for 3 days and went away and since then some times when i wipie there is blood on the paper but none in the stool what does this mean?

when i got up my toilet itvwas filled with BRIGHT red blood. It came out pretty easily. I'm scared shitless. I've been feeling tired alot for the past few months but , now I'm wondering if the two are connected. This has never happened to me before. can u give me any advice

John,
Why have you waited to see a doctor?
Did you know that myself included and most men
do not see a doctor when they have your symptoms.
Some die of colon recetal cancer that could have been treated and lived.

PLEASE GET OFF YOUR ASS AND SEE A DOCTOR. YOU MAY JUST HAVE A HEMORID PROBLEM SO DON'T WORRY YOURSELF.
DON'T PUT THIS OFF. BELEIVE ME I HAVE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT.

Good luck and see a doctor.:)

Zabe

Hi its me again the thing is i dont have i Insurance i think thats how you spell it and that happen 3 mouths ago and again to night when i use the bathroom blood is fulled in the stool the hole watter is all red and when i whipe its filled with blood too so it started back up so what can i do?

Its me again i just read what john said and its the same way here like i feel weak and tired i dont know what to do i went to the ER a while back when it first happed and they set me up with a special doc but i dont have insurance to pay for it and i dont have the money to pay for it so how can i go about this promble?

Anthony,
How broke are you?
Do you go out on the weekends?
Do you buy CD's.
Do you eat fast food?

Do you see where I am going. There are ways to access the health care system with out money. You may need to
pay a small amout of money ($10-$30).

Apperently you have access to the internet. Start searching free/low income health clinics in your area.
Call the hopital and ask them for help. Tell them
you have very little money. Tell them that the ER
reffered you to see a specalist for an urgent bleeding
problem with your rectum. Lay it on the line.!!!!

Ask them if there are any free clinics or low cost practices.

Bottom line take responcibility for yourself.

Zabe

all this talk about poop makes me want to poop too.

Hey, I just want to say that I am a 15 year old girl, and a couple days ago, I pooped out light red blood. I was really scared, but when I pooped again that night - the blood was gone. But I still poop out blood once in a while since then, but not all the time. I'm really worried if I should go to the doctors or not? I'm so scared of the doctors. Do you think this is serious?? I just hope I don't have cancer. Please, help me and tell me what I could have..and don't lie cuz I am really scared.

Scared Girl,

Please see a doctor.
Please try not to worry, you most likely
have hemroids. Hemroids can be eaisly treated.
Have you told your Mom and or Dad about what's
going on. There is nothing to be embarassed about.

One possibility is the bleeding could be caused by
anal sex. I you are engaging in anal sex, please make sure pleanty of lubercation is used and your partner wears a condom.

Either way see your OBYGN or your doctor.

Good Luck,

Zabe

Thanks Zabe.
Yes, I've told my dad and mom, they think it's just cuz i strained myself or something. But I went to the bathroom today, and no blood came out!! I was so happy, maybe it will stay like that now. But I don't think it would be from anal sex tho. And I hope I don't have hemroids. But I'm just so scared to go to the doctors but if it happens again...then I'll go. Thanks!!

i have little red spots in my poo. I ate pepers last nite but only about 4 cubes that were on my pizza. its only happened once. Help me pleeeeese. im embarrased. i need to tell sum 1 but i dont want to.
ps cud they be worms and wot are they??

Me,
Did it hurt when you pooed?
Did you strain your anus when you pooed?
Are your bowl movements normaly soft or hard?

If this is the first time that you noticed some red
spots in your poo and you other wise feel normal.
Most likely there is nothing to worry about. Check
after each bowl movement if you see red spots again
in your poo, don't worry. Chances are you have either
a small tear in your rectum or you have hemroid.

Both of these problems are easily treated.

PLEASE TELL YOUR PARENTS ABOUT THIS ASAP.
THERE IS NOTHINTG TO BE ASHAMED OR EMBARRASED ABOUT.
YOU BODY, ALL PARTS OF IT NEED TO RECEIVE HELP IF NEEDED.:):):):):):):):):)

I thought I was going diarhea last night-LOTS of stuff coming out-like water.
Began wiping, PURE blood had come out-bright red-
went to e.r.
Sent me home-
It's been happening all day today now-
they checked for hemmoroids-nada.
told me to go home-call doc on monday, and to get an appt. with a g.i. doc.
seriously-in the e.r.-gave doc a specimen cup HALF full of pure blood, mixed with mucous.
What an idiot!!
Do I go back into a different E.R. tomorrow??
Help!

Also--have been extreeeeeeeemely tired since this began yesterday- almost non-stop sleep-
new BAD sore on my tongue too.

Scared
Have your Mom or Dad call the ER ASAP
Tell treiage nurse exactly what have been happening
since you were last at the ER. You Mom or Dad needs
to help you find a G.I. doctor.

I'm sorry due some other obligations, I can no longer
watch this board any more. I will not be able to
post here.

If you are serious about what you have told me then
please get help. Good Luck.

My Poo was green this morning. It must have been something I ate, right? I ate a lot of avocado but my poo doesn't normally turn green, can anybody relate or let me know whats going on?

John, if you have green poop you probably ate a lot of veggies. More than you're used to.
Anyway, on the subject of blood in the poop: If there are a few streaks you probably tore your asshole. If there is a lot of blood you might have a hemerhoid. A friend of mine had a huge, swollen blood vessel in his asshole that one day broke and turned the whole toilet bowl red. He called the doctor and the doctor told him that everything was going to be fine.
I have never heard of drinking alcohol causing blood in the poop unless the drinker has an ulcer somewhere. But then the poop would be maroon or black unless the ulcer was right in the colon. I don't know about colon ulcers though. I'm not a doctor.

Well i pooped blood today and i was worried so i did a search and this is wat i found....Its not the first time it has happened before about a year ago or less
i personally think it has to do dieting
cause i just started a new one not even 2 days ago and this started so we will see...

I had spots of green in my poop, what should i do> shoudl i be worried?

No, annonymous. But do you have a picture? It sounds cool!

wow this is like poop and tell ..... fun .....
i think that if no one has died so far with bloody poop then you all shouldnt be worried....

I had a pretty big night of drinking on friday night, i think i had only gone to the bathroom once since than and no blood, but i just took a shit and i wiped my ass and there was blood on the paper for liek 4 wipes, i looked in the toilet and there was no blood
PS: i almost never drink. im hoping its just because of that

Don't wipe so hard.

A lot of people post their problems here and I dont see any solutions. I'm afraid!!!! I dont want to go see a doctor. Has anyone done that yet??/ I think I might have to. Don't want to die

I just went poop about 5 min ago .. I looked in the toilet and seen thier was ALOT of blood in there but it didnt hurt.. im not on a new diet and i havent been drinking.. HELP...

I went poop and there was alot of blood could it be from having anal sex? i had anal sex about 2 weeks ago and it never happend before this can someone please answer my questions .. and everyone else so i know im scarred

Hi.. Im 18 and i eat about twice a day...nd i exercise a lot, with running crosscountry and indoor track, it's hard not to.... Well, getting to the point, i felt as if i was gonna get some diarea or something, and when i finished with my buisness, i couldnt tell if my feces was bloody or not, but when i went to wipe, my toilet paper had a lot of blood on it. Would this be normal?

The other day I went to the bathroom and pooped all blood. It was like diarrhea only red. I went to the ER and they told me it could be internal hemmerhoids or something else. They found that it wasn't the hemmerhoids and they told me I needed to go see my normal doctor ASAP. The doctor made it seem pretty bad so if you're debating going and getting it checked, GO! When I find out what mine is I'll post it.

I just experienced this yesturday and i'm only 15. i didn't poop out a lot of blood nore did it hurt. i got freaked out though when i saw it, then i looked closely to it and it looked like some kind of bright red string thing. Can anyone tell me if this is serious or not? i haven't pooped yet to see if its bloody, but when i do, i will quickly go see a doctor.

I have been shiting out blood for months. When i wipe the paper is soaked and my rear drips while i got no 2

Ew! You guys need to see a doctor, damnit!!!

Well I have had the "runs" for a little over a week now and towards the last few days I have been noticing blood with it... the more I "poop" the more blood seems to come out... now I am not saying an emmense amount of blood... but definitely enough to get you nervous as hell..... the only other symptom I have is just an upset stomach...listening/reading your posts... it seams like a wait and see thing..while on the other side... its go see a doc...help!!

Is is really liquidy poo, like butt punch? Have you had a drink of untreated water recently, like, say, from a mountain stream or lake? You could have giardia. This can become a permanent condition if you do not get medicine for it. Even then sometimes it takes a few doses. Otherwise, all I can say is you might have an ulcer in your colon.

Are all of these questions just postings from people joking around?

What is this, John? CSI: Poop Report?

Today I pooped..and there was only red on the poop..liek no liquid or anything. When I whiped red was on the toilet paper..what does this mean?

This is definently a first for me. I went to the restroom and shit out bright red poop (solid, no bloody water). Like all you others, i wiped, and a small amount of blood was on the paper. Im not immensly worried, but i am curious. I guess im just wondering if the cause of this is limited to colon cancer or a hemroid? I kinda don't feel the need to see a doctor because he's probably gonna want to probe my ass. Its weird, but at least a whole ton of other people have had the same thing happen to them. Anyone know anything. tell me... i'd like to know. By the way, im 17, and in ok health i'd say.

Well, i went to the doctors, and just as i had predicted they wanted to look up my ass. Anyhow, it wasn't that bad and he concluded i had minor hemroids. I don't know what the medication is for because i went shit this morining and it was normal colored, anyway, he gave me 25mg of some kind of sopositories. well hope that helps you all out.

Well, i dunno but i think it might be diareha but when i pooped, it KINDA looked like red, but it kinda looked brown too, it felt like my asshole was burning off too though.

I pooped out red colors of poop in my shit i dont know what to do my best and greatest friend miranda she tasted it and it tasted like slut-poop so i really dont know what to do? Help me?

I went to poop today 2 days ago and there were about 3 spots where there was what looked to be blood like swirling off of my stool. For the past probably week i have been eating red beets and pickled eggs. Could that be a reason why it looks to be blood in my stool? Oh and there was blood on the toilet paper also...im pretty freaked out being that im in pretty good shape and im only 16.

"I went poop today 2 days ago..."

Argh! Some people are dumb!

Ive been finding blood on my paper after wiping,none in the actual poop.But tonight when i sat down to poop,nothing came out & i just farted,when i got up there was bright red blood all in the water,alot,didnt even feel it come out.what can this be?

i pooped what i thought was blood, but i guess it was a combo of strawberry soda and frankenberry cereal

my poop is black could i have something wrong with me. could i be pregnant or have cancer or am i bleeding in the inside?

Anyone who has black poo: Get to a doctor this instant. It means you are probably bleeding somewhere in your digestive system, not necessarily you colon.

Red Poo: Wet swirling blood in the toilet might not be cancer, but it could be. Use some preparation H to see if it is hemmorhoids, and also see a doctor immediately. If it does not get better with prep H, then REALLY see a doctor.
Same goes for blood on Toilet Paper.

People with solid red parts of poo or streaks: Umm, this is the confusing one. Just by logic it could be something you ate. The doctor told me specifically to look for swirling blood, then to go to a shrink (14 year old hypochondriac, scared I have Colon Cancer...)

And I do know that anyone who poops red/ bloody/ black should see the doctor.

I have a question for the experts-- If a poo, when coming out, hurt, and was red, does that mean it is most likely a fissure?

This has happened to me a couple of times and it wasn't a fissure. It was just a big piece of poo. If it happens all the time, though, it might be a fissure. Especially if blood shoots out of your butt into the toilet.

can i have anal sex once my hemroids are gone,
or will they be inflamed by that

I'm 15 and i went to the bathroom and the water was redish as was the stool but i couldent tell if the stool was just red or if it was blood but im going with blood also there was some on the tissue im really worried because were learning about std's and stuff and even though i have never been involved in any sexual activitys knowing what can happen is scareing the crap outta me but its not that easy to talk to my parents and im scard to death of the doctor should i wait and see if it happens again i know you always say to go see the doctor but i cant stand doctors

I drank a good deal probably 3 to four days for the past two weeks (each week), (not including this week), I'm 22, female and i'm thinking probably the whole dehydration thing is possible. I was in the bathroom at work. i poo'd and when I wiped (i'm sure we all look) i saw some blood. i looked in the toliet and there was some bright red blood there as well. I also took note that I was drinking some cayanne pepper in tea (it helps to clear out your system and good for leg veins) so I was thinking MAYBE it had something to do with it. But I was going to have some "back action" (not necessarily anal sex) last night and I was very hesitant because i didn't want to gross him out. until my stool has cleared i think i'll pass for any kind of back action. any one has any remedies?! it's been almost a week, i'm a little concerned

my name is Ashley and i am 13 years old. ive noticed bleeding in my poop today, im really scared because im afraid of colon cancer, but im too embarresed to tell my mom. I dont know what to do. Can somebody help me? the color is bright red unless it comes out in glops, then its dark red. im extremely scared, im not getting a colonosacophy or whatever it is, HELP. p.s., my cousin just went throught the same thing and got a colon thing and shes fine.

if any of you have blood in your stool it may be because you have a hemriod. i have the same symptoms ..and i have a hemroid ..its treatable and theres not alot to worry about. you just have to change your diet of more fiber so when u go its smooth and not hard rubbing against the hemroid(a lil aggravated bump)..it can be caused by spicey foods or just by putting to much pressure on urself when you actually go. i hope i help. and p.s. you should tell ur mom.

The only time you should really worry about blood in your shit is if you have black poo, it smells like rotting meat, and/or it's tarry or looking like coffee grounds. Then you need to get your ass to the hospital for internal bleeding.

i woke up today and i had a running stomack my stomak hearts alot befor pooping after that it is calm for another 15 min where i have to go again .. after the 6th time there i notices some traces of blood in my poo.. help me tell me wat to do wat to eat ....i scared

i have quite a few hemroids,
im thinking of seeing the doctor but scared that if he thinks i have had anal sex before he will want to do aids tests. i just want the roids out of my ass so i can get on with my life

Okay this is my first confession and before going to the doctor i thought i might see what gooy bloody stuf around a solid lil dark brown poop could be before i went. I never knew that so many people had blood in their poop. I have had anal sex like a month or so ago so i think i might have an sti from that or god knows what. Im going to go to the doctors now. I will let you know whats wrong.
Thanks for your confessions...

For anyone worried they might have Colon Cancer, see http://www.healthboards.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=24

Blood swirling in the toilet should be reason to see a doctor.

Red in your poo too. I would have seen a doctor by now but my parents don't take it seriously enough.

DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! Tell your mom or dad.

It was new years last night and I drank 3 beers and a few shots and I came home and I am pooping bright red blood. Also I ate some really hot food that was just out of the oven so do you think that could've burned my colon and cause it to bleed? I mean the food I ate wasnt out of the oven for more than a minute? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone respond to me.

Hey, for the last couple days my stool has been darker like a dark brown almost black should i be worried or ?? my diet has been horrible i barly find time to eat or drink .. is this a cause from not eating well?

im freaked. i just found blood in my crap. it was a bright color tho. im on my period but im sure its not from that "area." im afraid of doctors so what should i do?

okay...i am 14 years old, and have been noticing light blood in my stool, every once in awhile for about 1 1/2 months now...its happened about 3 times...and it kinda freaks me out...although i dont think its anything major...i still think that it is kinda wierd...im not gay, so theres no reason my ass should be torn up or anything, and normally have a pretty healthy diet. When i asked my dad, he said that it was prbly from drinking all the pop i do...but i dont really know! i just assume it is something wrong with my diet, and normally let it go..but today, it happened, and it really freaked me out...it has never really been a problem before, and it is just kind freakin' me out...by the way, its bright red, and not very heavy... and it doesnt hurt to shit...i thought i would ask u guys becuz i am only 14 years old...and it is kinda emberassing shitting blood...and having to tell a doc about it...any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
sincerely,
kookee

i have been shittin out blood 4 a week now n it dun seem 2 get betta. my mom suggests i should g2 da doctor n i fukin hate doctors will dis go away soon?

Hi all,
younger people who have small bleedings in their feces, often have problems with the rectum being sore or its hemorrhoids. The latter also have a tendency to itch, like you want to scratch it.
Also many people wipe too hard which makes the "area" sore and start bleeding.
If you feel more tired than usual in longer periods, I suggest you see a doctor right away. Also if the bleeding is not caused by wiping too hard, go see a doctor. It might be scary with doctors, but it could save you your life and "unnecessary" pain. :)

P.S. I have pooped twice today. Once in the morning which wasn;t that red, and once after school where it was really red, BRIGHT red. When I wiped, it was just liked when you wipe with regular crap, except it was red.Help, i'm scared.

I don't think it's anything bad, but I have bright red poop. It hurts when I poop, and I'm very embarrassed by it. I've only had it for like a day so far. I told my sister, and she told our parents. Could it be really serious?

i have the stomach flu- diahrhea and now my ass really is hurting everytime i go- what could it be and what should i do?

Well about 2 weeks ago a had this HUGE crap...
It hurt coming out and do my shock, when i wiped there was blood on the toilet paper...

Well it seemed to have gone away but now for the past 3 craps, its gotten really bloody and painful, and after each crap my anus tip is stinging - its almost like i ripped the end of me ass... well this last one really bled and i was so scared im looking on here for a cure...

I think i might have to go to the docotors... but this shouldn't be happining, im only 17 :(

Sounds like you have a hemmoraoid. It's very common and nothing to worry about. Yes, it's very painful and you should visit the dr. for it.

If your to embarrassed to get help try buy some preperation H and take some stool softners to soften the blow.

Key is: Don't Panic
Bright red blood is actually a good sign that it's not serious. It means its a surface bleed like a hemoraoid.

Hope I helped.
