    Most probably hemorrhoids or a fissure (a split in the anal opening) any blood from inside the colon would look like little bits of licorice if you would recognize them. You would need a lower GI for any problems here.

    I would still see a doctor and let him give to a diagnosis to be sure. In the meantime use preparation H and perp H suppositories.

    I don't think its THAT serious. It probably hemorrhoids or, its you ate a lot of carbohydrates lately it can cause you poo to me hard and may cause a cut in your a.s.s.h.o.l.e. So dose it also hurt when you go to the bathroom? And do you also see blood in the toilet? Just try eating better foods like fruits and vegetables, and grain foods that should help alot for the poo to be softer, so if there is a cut in you bum it can heal itself. Or if your worrying that its hemorrhoids i think there's a cream you can buy for that. But other wise if your still worried and it still occurs I suggest you go to the doctor and have them check you out. That would be the best thing to do.

    Hope it stops................

    There are several conditions that would cause this. 1) bleeding hemorrhoids (internal or external), 2) lower gastrointestinal tract (ie. colon or rectum) bleeding, and probably a few other gastrointestinal inflammatory disease which cause ulcers/bleeding of the intestinal lining.

    If you were bleeding from your stomach or small intestines, the blood is digested by then and your stools would look tarry & black.

    Please seek medical help immediately.

    The most likely answer is hemorrhoids. However, this is not something to play around with!!! It is oribably something simple, but you need to make sure. Rectal/colon cancer is treatable with a high right of success IF AND ONLY IF IT IS CAUGHT AND TREATED IN A TIMELY MANNER!!

    Like I said it probably is just hemorrhoids, but its not something to play around with! good luck.,

    if its bright red then its a hemoroid or tear on the outer side of your anus, mostg likely you tore it somehow. if it was inside your body the blood would be black or not so red. Mostlikely nothing to worry about, but its always best to consult your dr.

    It could just be hemorrhoids, but it could be something more serious. You should talk to your doctor and possibly have a colonoscopy if he or she recommends it.

    Could be a serious problem--or not. But worth asking your doctor about.

    probably hemeroids or somethig in lower gi tract, since it is bright red it would not be stomach problems

    See a doctor. It doesn't sound very good.
