Bleeding when having a bowel movement is this normal ? Help please
I've had a bad tummy this week started off with constipation for a few days which turned into bad tummy pain . I took a stool softner to help me go to the toilet but woke up yesterday with really bad diarrhoea like water sorry for tmi but went about 6 times in the morning. I have now noticed when I wipe there is blood on the toilet paper, could this just be from wiping alot after all the diarrhoea and my skin being sore or something more serious ? Any help would be appreciated never experienced this before so worried now .

I would go and see your GP about it because it could be something serious (it may not be, but it is not worth taking the risk)

If you are concerned about it then contact NHS 24 on 111 as they will disappear this with you and will give you advice on what you should do as your GP will probably be closed until either Wednesday or Thursday next week. Don't wait until things get worse. Better safe than sorry with phoning the NHS 24 helpline for advice.
It might be nothing to worry about but asking for advice from qualified NHS 24 staff will reassure you.
Bleeding from the bottom (rectal bleeding)
A small amount of one-off bleeding from the bottom is not usually a serious problem. But a GP can check.
Check if you're bleeding from the bottom
You might be bleeding from the bottom if you have:
•
blood on your toilet paper
•
red streaks on the outside of your poo
•
pink water in the toilet bowl
•
blood in your poo or bloody diarrhoea
•
very dark poo (this can be blood mixed in poo)

Thankyou for this, hopefully is nothing serious I've got some wet wipes to use instead of toilet paper so hopefully these will help to soothe my skin . Sorry again for tmi but because the diarrhoea was really watery I also passed some mucus could this have caused some of the bleeding perhaps?

No worries 🙂🙂
Drink plenty of water and see what happens and if it doesn't clear up then contact NHS 24 for further advice until your own GP open up later in the week.
What causes jelly like mucus in stool after diarrhea.......
Larger amounts of mucus in stool, associated with diarrhea, may be caused by certain intestinal infections. Bloody mucus in stool, or mucus accompanied by abdominal pain, can represent more serious conditions and should see your GP.

Yeah happens to me all the time - although I have been having penetrative sex up there so I dont know if we're in the same boat! If you are also a young gay male, remember to use lots of lube and dont rush it!!!
