You sound like having some internal bleeding. It may come from your near end intestines. What colour is the blood? Is it fresh or clotted blood? Does it carry some mucous or just purely fresh gushing blood? What about passing stools? Do you feel painful while passing stools? Anal bleeding can be either internal or external. External ones are normally haemorrhoids where its presence is obvious and can be treated with minor surgeries and oral medication. Internal bleeding has to be confirmed by doing either an endoscopy or sigmoidoscopy where a long tube will be entered either through your mouth or anus via local anaesthesia to soothe the discomfort. Through that a biopsy will be done to confirm the cause of the probable ulcer or just your intestines may appear to be normal. Based on your describing, bad stomach cramps followed by anal bleeding may alarm me to advise you to seek medical treatment. Have you taken any medication, herb or probably any food which is spicy and intolerant towards your digestion system? How long have you had the bleeding and how frequent? Apart from stomach cramping, where else do you feel the pain? Lower or upper abdominal site? These are the questions the doctor may ask you.

"The Causes of Rectal Bleeding:
*Hemorrhoids - These are dilated blood vessels or veins in the anal or rectal area. They can occur on the outside where they are felt as small bumps when wiping. Or they may be on the inside where they are usually painless. They develop quite commonly with chronic constipation and especially with pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are usually treated with stool bulking agents that soften the stool and reduce straining.
*Fistula - A fistula is an abnormal, burrowing channel that usually runs from the rectum to the skin around the anus. It often will drain a whitish discharge, but it can also bleed. While it is usually just a local problem, a fistula is often associated with chronic inflammation in other parts of the intestinal tract. This disorder is called Crohn's disease. Fistulas are treated with antibiotics and hot baths or certain medications used for Crohn's disease. If they persist, surgery is usually required.
*Fissure - The passage of a hard stool or severe diarrhea may tear the lining tissue of the anus. This problem is similar to having cracked lips in cold weather. Nerve endings and blood vessels are exposed so that pain and bleeding occur with bowel movements. Frequent warm baths and bulking agents, used to keep stools soft, usually correct this problem. Sometimes surgery is needed.
*Diverticulosis - Diverticula are pockets or sacs that project from the bowel wall. They balloon out over the years due to recurrent, high pressure spasm of the colon. Occasionally they can bleed. They usually produce a lot of blood, and it comes all at one time. It normally does not persist in small amounts with bowel movements over days or weeks. Serious, persistent diverticular bleeding usually requires hospitalization and, at times, surgery.
*Proctitis and Colitis - Either the rectum, colon, or both, can become inflamed and ulcerated. There are a number of disorders which cause the inside surface of the bowel to become ulcerated and bleed. There may be rectal urgency, cramps or diarrhea associated with the bleeding. When the inflammation is restricted to the rectum, the condition is called proctitis. When the colon is involved, it is called colitis. It is important to identify the specific cause of the inflammation so that appropriate treatment can be started.
*Polyps and Cancer - Of course, the greatest concern about rectal bleeding is cancer. Polyps are benign growths in the colon. When polyps reach a large size, they can bleed. And certain types of polyps turn into cancer. Colon cancer is usually curable when discovered early. It most often occurs in people over the age of 50, but it is not unheard of in younger individuals, even in their 30's or younger. Because colon cancer is such a common cancer, it is always considered as a possible diagnosis.
*Protrusion of the Rectum - Some older individuals will have weakened rectal support tissues. Part of the rectum then can project from the anus and bleed. This condition is called rectal prolapse. It can be felt as an abnormal bulging from the rectum when wiping. Surgery is the only effective treatment."

If its a bright red almost a rasberry color then it could be an internal hemmeroid,food poisening or an ulcer due to stress. if its a darker colored red then those tend to be more serious problems. possibly cancer. I did the same for a couple days and i didnt see the dr. i just looked up info on the net and asked a pharmacists. it could last a couple days. in my case it did for a week. people say go to the dr immediatly to me. but not everyone has the money to pay out of pocket for a visit. look into symptoms of internal hemmeroids and the color of it. Im sure its the same thing as i had. this was 3 months ago and im healthy.

You could have gotten Giardia or some other sort of parasite. Giardia can cause irritation to the intestines causing bleeding from the anus. My dog just got it. It was cured with antibiotics. Go to the doctor and get checked out.

definite, that's how a fecal try is finished. They insert an prolonged stick into the anus and pull feces out to objective for worms. it ought to reason a small volume of bleeding the day it exchange into completed, in specific situations into day after as we communicate. even with the undeniable fact that, if it maintains, you may touch your guy or woman vet.

oh that does NOT sound good! You may have picked up something bad & any kind of bleeding from there is usually NOT a good sign. I would go to a doctor ASAP before it gets too serious.
