blood in your shit?

Best case, you just temporarily burst a vein in your colon, worst case its colon cancer. I would have it checked either way. Another hypothesis could be that you ate beetroot and forgot - gets me every time.

Depends on what normal nosebleed means. If it doesn't cover the entire water surface, most likely a minor fissure (a small cut, hence the fresh blood). If that's the case, try not to strain, rest your feet on a small chair when you go, and soften (and after a few days, bulk) your stool over the next few days by food/medication to avoid reinjury. Best case scenario it'll be asymptomatic (i.e. no more bleeding, since you mention you have no feelings of pressure/pain/swelling at all) in a few days, and you shouldn't worry as many people who work long hours and high stress jobs deal with some degree of issues down there (esp. hemorrhoids). Note that this might very well end up becoming a recurring issue, but that in any case longer-term lifestyle changes should be adapted to minimize recurrence. I was going to put a joke in there somewhere but thought it'd be in poor taste. Best of luck, and do make a GP visit if bleeding persists and have your stool tested to rule out stomach issues, though most likely you should be fine.

Bright red could be a burst hemorrhoid. Dark is concerning.

Bro have you eaten beets recently?

Why are you asking us? Ask a doctor.

Yeah, this is probably not the best place to ask this question. Google it and look for reputable sources like the Mayo Clinic, etc. If you still have concerns, see a a physician, if you can find one who has some availability .

If it keeps happening, go see a GI. I had the same thing recurring once a month for the better part of a year. I had a huge pre cancerous polyp removed before I was 30.

Have a friend where this continually happened to him for years, on and off. After finally getting checked he had some semi-serious gastrointestinal issues, so you should really see a doctor if this continues.

How does OP get 2 SB's for this topic?

Anyways if you can't make it to a Dr. You can always try Teledoc.com. you can get an examination from home. Just be sure to show the Dr. Your ass hole on your webcam. You can also try cologuard, at home colon testing.

Times are changing!!!

Your welcome

...

Not to scare you, but this was the first sign that my dad had cancer. Not trying to worry you, but I just want everyone to read this, remember this, and know it’s a serious thing.

Potentially Crohns. Get checked - nothing to mess with.

on a similar note - anyone's knee buckle from time to time when they walk?

I always upvote ass.

Beetroot juice is one hell of a drug

Check to make sure you don't have pilonidal disease. It's a cyst/abscess that forms around the tailbone/top of ass crack. It's more common in women but men can have it too. Generally peaks around mid-20s. You'll have noticed it a long time ago, it could have drained (mixture of blood and pus occasionally), but they can develop quickly. Most of seems to be due to genetics, but having a lot of hair in that area doesn't help. If it doesn't get better, you might have to get surgery for it, which currently is listed generally as elective and surgeons aren't performing it own as much with the virus. Hopefully this is not what happened to you, it's a real bitch.

How are your stools? Does it go down smoothly, does it look normal? Now I don't need to know the answer to those questions nor do I need to see any pictures, but keep that in mind. When my diet used to be terrible in college (all protein no salads or fibers), I used to think that I was shitting out extremely sharp Tinconderoga pencils, and those would come with some blood... After fixing my diet, my stools became normal and I never bled again.

Definitely coronavirus

If it's fresh it's probably just hemorrhoids, either internal or external - though the external ones you'd def feel (itch, pain).

But do get it check out, there's always a chance of it being something more severe.
