Slightly bloody stool
Posted: 04-25-08 01:07am

The past couple times I have defecated I've noticed small amounts of blood when I first wipe. No more appears after the first wipe.

I'm guessing this means there is a slight tear in the anus that gets agitated as the stool passes.

Nothing has gone up there thats not supposed to, so I'm not sure why there would be a cut. I'm a college student so my diet isn't exactly balanced. I'm not sure what dietary deficiency would account for thin anal skin.

I work in the ER and almost all the time we get this it's hemmorhoids. Take a mirror and take a look, that could b what you've got!
