What's "usually"?

Sounds to me like you need to get it checked out, it could well just be a spot or something but either way, if you're bleeding there's always a possibility of infection - and let's face it, your arse probably isn't the most germ-free of places.

Could be something as simple as a little cut somewhere down there, but it could be the symptoms of something more serious. Go to the doctor and get it checked out, if it's happening a lot then it's worth getting looked at. It might be a little embarrassing, but if it's something that's a little more serious, it's better to find out now.

this may be a little descriptive, but im not sure how else to say it...usually when i go to the toilet and do a number 2, when i wipe i nearly always have a little bit of blood on the tissue, not in the number 2, but sorta from the "ring". i dont have itching or anything so i dont think its hemorrhoids, but is this ok or shud i be getting it checked out?


My butt has bleed every time I have wiped it for about 2 years. Never caused me any problems. I always put it down to wiping too hard.

I was going to go to the Docs until I read what the examination entails. I decided to put up with the bleeding...

The bleeding could stem from a simple cut, or could be a sign of something of greater significance, such as the presence of polyps in the colon which may become malign. I'd recommend you see a doctor.

Yeh same problem as you but it hasn't caused anything serious or any problem for that matter. I don't think too much of it.
