Hello,

How old are you? When you are young blood in your poop could caused by something like hemroids, however if you are older then it could be a much more serious including the possiblity of cancer. I suggests running this by your doctor either way.

it could also just be little tears in your anus... is having a bowel movement at all painful? i would ask your docter just to rule out anything dangerous but it probably is not serious...
