First and foremost. See your doctor to
make sure you are okay.
This can occur from tears in your colon.
Are you experiencing the blood in your
bowl movement or when you wipe?

First of all you need to calm down, having
blood in your stool doesnt mean you have
colon cancer, maybe you were straining a
little you may even have a hemoroid and
not know it, you should let your parents
know, and if it continues, go see a
doctor, im sure you will be just fine.

I had and have the same problem.
If it's when you wipe yes, could be
hemeroids or a tear in your colon. It's
when it's in your poop that it's
dangerous. Like if you see blood in your
stool or its black with blood.
I would say, wait a week and see if its
improved. If not, see a doctor.

If it's an on-going thing, I would see the
doctor to make sure it's nothing serious.

Search it on the net. I don't know the
exact reason etc..But I do know it can
cause bleeding.

A hemoroid is a piece of skin that can
either hang out side of your rectum that
is filled with blood, they can also be
inside your rectum which you wont see, but
anyway if your pushing while your going to
the bathroom, you can irritate them which
will cause them to bleed, coughing,
picking up heavy items will also cause you
to have hemoroids, sometimes they are
painfull, or itch , nothing to be alarmed
about unless they become really
bothersome, or become extremely enlarged,

Please See a Doctor Posted: 02-22-04 15:20pm
Scarlett, even though things seem to be
ok, please tell your mom about what
happened. Then make sure you see a
doctor.
I am sure you realize that bleeding from
your anus is never normal. It can be
temporary like a hemorrhoid that gets
irritated or similar. But if the
bleeding goes away, that does not mean the
problem is gone.
Always tell your mom or a doctor about
anything that concerns you. There is no
reason not to.
