should I worry?

This is pretty embarrasing and not very nice either.basically I've found that for the past two days when I go to the toilet and move my bowels(euphemism for you know what) after I've wiped my behind with a tissue,I've found blood.now theres no blood in the faeces itself just on me.I've tried google it but everything i've found comes up with bloodin the faeces.I'm too embarrased to go to the doctor as I'm quite shy 'bout these kinda things.can anyone help?

I think it could be hemmarhoids (not that I can spell them). It's quite common. Go to your doctor; it's a cliche but they really do see these sorts of things all the time, and it will put your mind at rest as well as actually treating it!

Don't panic - about 90% of us get haemorrhoids/piles at one time in our lives!

It's quite straightforward - but still embarrasing!

That's called an anal fissure btw.
I had a terrible few months once, where I got one of those and a hemmeroid at the same time :frown:

I noticed because I'd have blood on my toilet paper after wiping too.

Doctor will give you either little tablets or a cream to stick up your anus after bowel movements to help it heal and avoid infection.

Yes as the others say go to the doctors before it gets worse.

Yep, it does sound like a haemorrhoid...you could've had it (or them) for ages and they've just been aggravated by constipation or even if you're just eating more so moving your bowels more often. If you see the doc they'll sort you out, it's a really common problem. Hope you get better soon :smile:
