This can't be good

<3

Lately, when I'm wiping my butt after pooping, I noticed some blood. I'm a little concern about my well being, because this really can't be good.

Should I go see a doctor?

Librarian

Yes, because as we have established in here a couple of times now

poop + blood = not so good


Please go and see your doctor.

A-Rod

Yes.

Wha...he could've just scratched his anus or something. I mean, if he's shitting buckets full of blood it's a problem, but if there's just a bit of dry blood on the last sheet of loo-roll, he probably just needs to use softer tissue.

Yes, it might be nothing but we need more info for that, the word "lately" kinda implied for me that it happened a couple of times now.

Does it hurt, or is it just blood?

Could be hemorrhoids. Go see a doctor, they give you perscription cream for it if it is

You might have just shredded some skin with the paper so that it bleeds a bit, I've done this lots of times. Damn cheap paper...

However, if there is blood in the sausage you are cranking out... Doctor, now!

Get more fiber, also use like, wet wipes to finish off wiping instead of ravaging your butt with toilet paper. Oh, and if you're in a college dorm, quit using their fucking free toilet paper and spend a few bucks on the good stuff. That free shit is sandpaper. Awful awful sandpaper.

This morning I pooed a poo about a foot long. It was really, really scary. I stood back several feet when I flushed. It was the sort of poo that nearly made me scream "What is the meaning of this!?" when I first saw it. However, someone else walked into the bathroom so I bit my tongue.


Anyway, the fact that you say "Lately" is sort of worrying. It implies it's happened at least a few times already. Which is worrying.

By lately I mean like last couple of weeks. But I'm not like shitting out blood, it just that there are red spots on the tissue when I wipe. And it doesn't hurt.

I do live in a dorm which has shitty toilet paper. That might be the reason. I'll look into buying a soft tissue.

Also the suggestion about getting more fiber is not a bad idea. Since I've been living on my own I eat less vegetables now.

Are you itchy there? Sore? That brings up the probability of hemeroids (you pooped too hard, man!) If it's actual *pain* rather then soreness, that brings up the probability of an anal fisure (easy to fix, just a pain in the ass ... hah!)

If it's just little bit of blood with no other symptoms, it may just be the paper as someone said (or building up to hemeroids)

Either way, increase your fiber to soften things up, and be gentle with the area. There are various other but issues guys can get, which makes me want to suggest the doctor as well. If you're a girl... well it's probably one of the two above. Either one is solved much more quickly if you see a doctor rather then trying home remedies. (by the way, an epsom salt bath every evening will help with soreness too)

It is always good to see a doctor about things like this. Though to me it does sound like the bad paper/ lack of fiber. However, visit the doc, just to be sure. And then follow his advice. He might tell you things we've already mentioned here, he might not. It is probably nothing, but really, always better safe than sorry.

BTW < 3: Is your sig a picture of hermione drinking a corona?

Note: if there is blood IN your stool, it turns the stool black. If there are red spots on the TP, then it's most likely a problem near the exit, which is generally not nearly as serious. It could be a small fissure or a hemmorhoid. A doc might give you a topical for it and suggest some dietary changes.

WebMD also suggests making sure you're hydrated. Drink your 8 glasses of water a day.

Although this is true, and you should make sure your not like, scratching extra hard with your keys or something, it is also a sign of cancer. Colo-rectal whatever is the leading cause of embarrassing deaths among men.

Fact.

Sometimes when you wipe your ass exclusively with discount single-ply sandpaper for an extended period of time it scrapes up your ass and that's why Jesus himself recommends you buy toilet paper fit for human use.
