Took a dump and bled about 5 litres of it AMA

I'm not ok. I'm slightly worried the whole toilet water was a dark red, when i wiped my butt there was a lot of red o.o

If you're a fit girl I'll help plug it for you

Wow clearly thought this one through haven't you

How old are you?
haemorrhoids?

dont waste it down the toilet - donate it to a blood centre

this is so gross it makes me sad

It could be other things but bleeding down there can be a sign of bowl cancer. I'd go to the doctors.

Bowl cancer has a really high survival rate if it it caught soon enough but people put going to the doctors off as the symptoms are often embarrassing. I'm not a doctor and it could be other less scary things but it is better to be safe than sorry.

And I drilled a hole into my skull and bled out 53.5 Litres

are you male or female. maybe your started your period

Could be an anal fissure.

Disclaimer: despite my infamous bedside manner I am not a medical professional and blood out of the wrong hole should probably mean a trip to your GP.

Could be bowel cancer, I would get it check out.


Also we only have about 5 litres of blood

I am not a medical professional so don't make serious life decisions based on this or any other post but I've been around life a while (returning to uni for a masters) and have seen a fair share of bleeding.

A few serious questions though as some people want to make jokes, which aren't helpful when you're scared about a medical issue.

1. Was it a large or super solid bowel movement? These can cause some blood vessels in your anus to burst, especially if there was also straining. The TP would be full of blood and the toilet water might look like a massacre happened. (It happens... my workplace is odd so we do sometimes talk about things like this). Although scary, if it's a one-off it's nothing to worry about. Just eat more fibre and drink more water and it should clear up on its own. This is ONLY if the blood was fresh and bright, proper blood-red on your TP.

2. Is the blood is darker, or blackish? Run to the doctor asap. Dark blood is from further up the digestive tract and has been bleeding for a while as it takes time to turn dark. The sooner that is looked at the better.

If it's worrying you a lot or causing stress, there's no harm in getting yourself checked out by a doctor because it's better to have them confirm that you're fine than to ignore it and have it be serious.

More people than will ever admit have had a fresh bloody poo from straining or constipation and been terrified by the toilet result. It usually clears up if it's just a haemorrhoid type.

I hope it's nothing serious!

Could still be bowel cancer.
