everytime i have a bowel movement some blood comes out along with pain. Ive had the pains for a while, but the blood started gradual at first! well, today the blood was extremely heavy and it scared me really bad! I've heard it could be a hemorrhoid, but wouldn't i have some other symptoms? i'm not sure how it all works, so i need to know whats going on with my body! please help!

Well, start by telling us if it is bright or dark blood. Also, is it mucousy, thin or clot-like?

Sounds like an anal fissure or 'piles' - they say the brighter it is, the less there is to worry about as it means it is pretty local (ie not nvolving your digestive processes further up.)

Anal fissure or otherwise, you still need to see someone professionally to get the correct treatment.

Best to check with your family doctor

Blood is not a good sign !! It is best to arrange with your physician to have a colonoscopy, that way that can find out what is happening inside the colon.
