Answer:
Important question… was the blood bright red, or dark red?

Bright red blood is usually from a busted vessel at or near the anus. We call these hemorrhoids, or piles.

Dark red blood is from bleeding further up in the colon, and can be the result of an infection, or polyps. If the blood is dark red, you need to be seen by a physician for diagnosis.

Bright red blood can be caused by constipation or straining. Try increasing the fiber in your diet, and drink more water.

Answer:
If it was fresh blood . It will be piles or you’ll have a fissure (small tear in your rectum ) . It is nothing to worry about easily treated . Eat more fibre and drink more water to flush things through your system .

Bowel cancer tends to show by diarrhoea then constipation . If things persist go to your physicians . They will put your mind at ease

Answer:
if it was fresh blood (still red) its probably piles and in that case you need to increase the fiber in your diet which is quite easy. go to the docs any way because its superior to be safe than sorry with these things, the sooner the better.

Answer:
Get yourself to the doctor. It's probably not serious, but I recommend u get it checked out. It could be just an anal fissure which is a little tear in your back passage. Get it checked out, so you can get it seen to.
