When you are very constipated it could cause some blood in your stool.
Though you should probably have a colonoscopy just to make sure.
If this is the only time you had the blood it probably isn't serious.
To prevent constipation eat at least 15 grams of fiber a day and lots of water.
Fiber is in; cereals, beans, grains, fruit, vegetables. Check the labels there are some kinds of cereal and bread that have 5 grams per serving.
You may need to take a stool softener or get something called Fiber Sure, you put in a warm drink and can't even taste it. I just had some of that yesterday.

You probably tore your anal opening some and it bled. You shouldn't let yourself go this long or, when you do from illness or something else, then take something to help you so you don't tear.
Use some "preparation-H" and get some Preparation-H suppositories to use at night, they go in quite well, just give it a try, it's better the suffering, Keep yourself clean, to a point of washing after going to the pot. Then use the prep.
If it gets to bad then see a doctor. Try using Metamucil for roughage for bulk in your diet, eat more cereal grains and more vegetables.

Had an identical prob with my 13 week previous daughter. do no longer stick something in her backside until eventually you're mushy! not extra water right this moment...too plenty would desire to skinny her blood & reason important issues. in all hazard choose to alter formula...Enfamil-Nutramigen is sturdy, each and all of the components are broken down for the toddler...much less puzzling to digest. that's a lil extra high priced (while you're on WIC- you could desire a medical doctors notice approving the Nutramigen so they're going to supply it to you & it will in all hazard be a million or 2 much less canisters a month) Prune juice (in basic terms the toddler variety) is advantageous...yet in basic terms in small quantities! My grandmother from Mexico instructed me to objective those tricks and that they did help my daughter... ...you could attempt a drop or 2 of olive oil in her mouth...yet in basic terms a drop or 2. ...additionally "Te de Manzanilla" it relatively is Chammomille tea. (yet in basic terms a hundred% organic). Brew a cup (sweetened with in basic terms a pinch of sugar) and supply her approximately 2 oz. of it (enable it cool off somewhat-until eventually now giving it to toddler). i could think of approximately getting a 2d opinion from a different scientific expert. Blood contained in the stool skill she would have ruptured a membrane in her rectum (no longer sturdy)...and her poo should not be no longer ordinary. superb of success!!!

It sounds like one of two things could be wrong with you. (1) Lactose intolerance (2) Use of narcotics.
A blood spot doesn't indicate that you have colon cancer but is probably caused by the hard feces cutting your rectum. You may also not be drinking enough liquids or eating enough veggies.
Forget the colon cancer theory until you pass about a pint of bright red blood......then you can worry.

try calming down. It's normal and the most that could be wrong is a hemeroid. try drinking more liquids and lay off the soda and caffine!!

The blood is most likely from staining. If you notice more blood call you doctor.
