Is it in your stools or on the paper when you wipe your ass?

If its on the paper, its nothing to worry about. You've pushed a bit hard and ruptured some of the blood vessels.

Try and eat a bit more fibre and using a soft toilet paper helps.

I've had this myself, and whilst I'm obviously not a doctor, I can tell you that (usually) if the blood is bright red/pinky, that's a good sign (usually indicates a rectal tear, which is likely if you're constipated), if it's darker then it's coming from inside you. But usually the sight of the blood in the stools is a lot more alarming than the cause of it. Get yourself checked out by all means, but don't panic because it's most likely just a tear.

This happened to me twice, a couple of years ago. But left it & it went away.
Happened again recently, but hasn't happened since. I was thinking about seeing a doctor, but i'll wait to see if it happenes again.

If ur worried go and see a doctor.

I agree. It probably is not bowel cancer but there is a chance. The longer you wait, the worse it will get.

Hopefully it will be something simple like a tare

Sounds like a burst stomach ulcer. See a doctor, my dad didn't and he ended up spending 3 nights in hospital because he left it so long.

This is why medical advise from a forum is ****. Because people see a single symptom of something that is a symptom of something big and panic the person experiencing it.

Read her post - lately i've been a bit constipated

Chances of ulseration or, god, cancer, are almost negilgable to start with (especially in a young healthy body) but add the above and its pretty obvious what the problem is!!

Its VERY common. I've experienced it myself a fair bit. I remember getting it after doing leg lifts at the gym once.

NO!!! Jeez, you've said you've already experienced it and you were fine!! What, you think the second time around its cancer?? Or the cancer/ulser just went away last time??

I've got a sore neck right now.

It could be because I've been wearing a sling for the past 3 hours.

It could also be menigitus.

Should *I* see a doctor?
