A drop or two of blood is not as serious as many people would have you believe on this forum. I would wait a week to see if the issue resolves itself before seeking medical attention. It could be any number of mundane health issues that would only cost you money to have a doctor tell you to wait and see if you get better if you actually went to a doctor or the ER, which I believe is completely unnecessary at this point.

To assess this serious situation, I need specific details.
1. Were you grunting/squealing/snorting?
2. Did you grab the walls or the sides of the toilets?
3. Were you straining?
4. Was there anyone with a camera nearby?
5. Did you suddenly become religious?
Hahahaha nah just kidding. If you STRAIN well then you will burst blood vessels, while this is not good, it's not serious unless it keeps happening all the time. If you're worried, go see the quack.

Yeah this is actually normal. If you are a teen or young adult alot of times you don't have the best of eating habit. You will go a few days before your bowel movement. Alot of times it is hard and hurts when coming and there is blood when you wipe. Not much though. If it is soft and hurts chances are you have a hemroid. If you are worried about it ask your doctor.

If it took a lot of effort yes there can be blood. As long as it is fresh blood & on bum you should be Ok. You can get a stool softern at drug store or eat more bran if it happens offten. Blood in the stool should always be checked by a doctor.

No, not normal. You need to be seen very soon by a Dr. There are several things indicated by blood in or after stools but none of them are good.

Sometimes the feces can tear the lining of the colon or the anus causing some blood. If it happens more frequently, go to a doctor.

If it was an uncharacteristically hard and large bowel movement, it can tear the rectum when pooping. (this is not really a problem, but you should keep it clean -baby wipes the next time you go) If you don't think you tore your butt hole while pooping, I wouldn't worry. However, if there is a lot of it or you didn't have to strain when pooping, go see a doctor.

It could be a hemorrhoid, if you can't feel it though, it could be a high hemorrhoid (I was diagnosed with this at 15 yrs old ...15 yrs ago). Or it could be anal fissures, tearing around the "hole". This happens usually when you might be constipated and it's hard to go. You should go to the Dr to have it checked.

Listen to everyone else here. It's not normal if you continue to get bloody stool. You should make an appointment with your doctor just to be safe.

Actually, YES. It is more common than you think. It has happened to me a few times in my life actually. It is usually due to a small tear in your rectum or sometimes hemorrhoids. Usually it heals all by itself. But if it continues, for more than a week or so, you might want to see your Doctor.
