Question

is that normal?

Answer 1

Do you have difficulty in passing stool? Do you find yourself straining more than usual?
Are you regularly constipated? Do you have regular bowel movement (at least once in three days).
A lot of slow, painful bowel movement followed by bleeding is caused due to poor diet and lack of sufficient water.
You are straining so hard that the soft tissue around the backside is being damaged, and little cells are being torn. Drink lots of water, preferably warm water with some honey. Include fibre such as whole wheat products, oats and cereals.... you will see once your bowel movement is easy the bleeding will stop. If you dont take care of this now it could get worse so dont ignore it.

Answer 2

Blood in the stool can be bright red, maroon in color, black and tarry, or occult (not visible to the naked eye). Causes of blood in stool range from harmless, annoying conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as hemorrhoids to serious conditions such as cancer. Blood in the stool should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Rectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) refers to passage of bright red blood from the anus, often mixed with stool and/or blood clots. Most rectal bleeding comes from the colon, rectum, or anus. The color of the blood during rectal bleeding often depends on the location of the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Generally, the closer the bleeding site is to the anus, the blood will be a brighter red. Thus, bleeding from the anus, rectum, and the sigmoid colon tend to be bright red, whereas bleeding from the transverse colon and the right colon (transverse and right colon are several feet away from the anus) tend to be dark red or maroon colored.

Of all the diagonasis -
It could most probably be Hemorroids

Answer 3

it could mean a variety of things. now, i am not a doctor but i would definantly suggest that you see one and no just take someone's word for whats wrong. having said that, it could be constipation for one. constipation is cause by many things, one of which is possible dehydration. a large number of people do not get enough liquids in their diet most of which do not even realize that they are dehydrated. also, not to be rude, do you have anal sex? if so, stop. at least until you see a doctor and find the reason for your bleeding. also, not to frighten you, hpv (genital warts) can manifest itself in your anal cavity. having hpv can cause cervical cancer. so my suggestion to you is, drink a lot of water (6-8 glasses a day over time not all at once) and get to your doctor very soon.

Answer 4

Yes, its normal. It just means that you've torn your anus a little from pushing too hard. If your stool is black that means you have internal bleeding and you should see a doc immediately for that. Just to be on the safe side I'd call my doc and ask about it.

Answer 5

Rectal bleeding, especially bright red blood, needs to be checked out. It could be anything from a thrombosed hemorrhoid to an anal fissure. If you have been constipated, you could have torn the anus passing the stool.

It does need to be checked out to make sure it is nothing serious.

Answer 6

I don't want to scare you, but for me it was the first symptom of ulcerative colitis, a serious disease that can only be cured by surgery. (There are non-surgical treatments, but not cures - you just try to keep in under control but don't get rid of it unless you have surgery.) There are lots of other causes possible, but none of them are anything to ignore. Get off the computer and make an apointment with your doctor NOW!

Answer 7

It's hemorrhoids. Get yourself to the doctor as soon as possible. He/she will refer you to a Proctologist (specialist in hemorrhoids, etc.).

Don't use the over the counter stuff. It does not work. Plus, you want to be sure you have hemorrhoids first before you self-treat for something you may not have.

Answer 8

Probably constipated. Drink much more water regularly. Eat more fresh raw fruit. Take in roughage.. in food. See if metamucil would help. Check out stool softeners.

Answer 9

what i think it is could be a hemorrhoid or a tumor so if it still like that you need to check into the hospital and let them check it out. it could be really serious. so if i were you i would check it right away.

Answer 10

this is not where you should be asking this question, you should be asking your doctor. there are alot of things that can cause your rectum to bleed. colon cancer being one of them so my advice is to see a doctor and ignore the rest of the answers on here.
