Many people get confused between what they think is blood and what is blood. If after a bowel movement the toilet is bright red, chances are you have a hemorrhoid that has burst, but the toilet is bright red. Blood in a stool is usually undetectable to the untrained eye and it is not bright red.
Either way you need to see a Doctor because hemorrhoids can be a pain but can be treated.

It would be wrong to alarm you by answering here on yahoo answers. But it might be something very serious, so I strongly suggest you put out the money and go to a doctor.
