Soooo a decent amount of the time when I wipe myself clean after making numah 2, I noticed there is uh, red on the toilet paper. Today I noticed there was like a red strip I guess I would call it on the side of one of my uh stool logs. My question is am I bleeding somewhere inside at some point from my mouth to my butt? Or is this just a strange poop coloring thing? Nothing really hurts, so I hadn't been too concerned but at this point its just like what the hell is going here. Something to worry about? See a doctor? Cut stuff out of my diet? Any ideas?

    It's probably a hemorrhoid. Schedule a visit with your doctor to verify. You may have just simply popped a vein though, check to see if it's reoccurring.

    If it's just a streak it's probably happening at the point of exit, which isn't TOO major usually. If it's mixed in more thoroughly, that's when you have to start worrying. It probably is just a hemorrhoid or something less.

    Bright red is a small tear on your anus or a hemorrhoid. Dark red/black is something internal and bad. Mind you, I'm not a doctor so if you're worried go to someone certified, but in general bright red means it hasn't traveled far between point of origin and your TP.

    concur - is likely a hemroid (and you should feel bad!) (no j/k don't feel bad).

    1. you read/play video games when you poo
    2. you do heavy lifting?
    3. you sit in one place for too long?
    4. you dont eat fiber?
    5. the air is VERY dry right now(?) winter time and the skin can tear.

    Definitely sounds like a hemorrhoid but I would still see your doctor just in case. If they are good they'll run a blood test to check for low iron (anemia) as well as check your white count to see if you have any sort of GI infection that could be contributing to this. If they confirm it's a hemorrhoid they can also give you much better medication than you can get over the counter

    What you can do if it is a hemorrhoid to lower the chance of getting more is make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day and that you are eating enough fiber. Exercise is also super beneficial to your GI function which will help this not reoccur.

    Ooooooh. I read when I poo, but I'm not on the can forever.
    I also sit at my desk for a lot of the day. Im pretty sure these are the only ones that apply to me. I'm also going to start exercising more, so hopefully that should help
