more than likely it's that you're not eating right and have hemorrhoids!

NO it does not. You might have hemroids, they will bleed when having a bowel movement. Instead of asking us fools, you should just visit the MD. You will get all the answers you need from a professional.

6 :
Nope, there are many possibilties of what could be causing, with roids being top of the list. However if you are bleeding often, get it checked out asap.
7 :
Not necessarily, but you should see a gastrointerologist ASAP. It could be any of a number of things that he could determine by performing a colonoscopy. The younger you are, the less likely it is colon cancer. I'm 46, and I was considered a little young. It could be a non-cancerous polyp of some kind, or any number of problems.

It depends on the color of Blood. Is it Bright Red, or "Black Like"? You may have Polyps, Hemmorids, (Internal or External) My husband had the same thing for YEARS before he was brave enough to have a Colonoscopy. He bled to death sometimes using a half roll of toilet paper, and having to throw out his underwear. He also stained the toilet bowl, that's how BAD It was. If you wipe and see blood on the toilet paper, 99 percent sure it is hemmorids, try using an over the counter creme, or plain ol' petroleum jelly or Zinc Oxide, it will soothe and heal the membranes.

Could mean hemorrhoids or colitis too - only a doctor can tell you. Good luck, Ann

Please do not come to the conclusion that it may not be COLON CANCER. Blood in bowel movements, on the toilet paper after wiping, or in the toilet bowl water is referred to as rectal bleeding. Rectal bleeding is a common problem for people of any age. There are many different things that could cause rectal bleeding, some more serious than others. The two most common causes are because of anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Either of these problems may be caused by constipation. Tiny tears, usually less than half an inch long on the skin of the anus are called anal fissures. The opening where the bowel movements pass is the anus. Fissures are caused usually by hard bowel movements. These tear the skin as they pass through the anus. Swollen veins located in the lower rectum and anus are referred to as hemorrhoids. They maybe see outside the anus or be internal. This means that they are inside the rectum and are not visible without the use of special instruments. In middle aged and older individuls rectal bleeding may be caused by diverticula in the colon. They are finger like pouches at the weak points in the wall of the colon. When the bowel movements go through these pouches occasionally they will become inflamed and bleed. The other possible causes of blood being in bowel movements may include an infection in the intestines. In this case the blood in the diarrhea will only last one to three days and then it will be gone. Another cause may be inflammatory bowel disease. This is an irritation of the lining of the colon. This will cause a person to have abdominal pains, diarrhea, and mucus and blood in the bowel movements. Blood in the stewel is also a symptoms of cancer in the colon or rectum. Lastly, there could be bleeding in the upper digestive system. This is a medical emergency and when this happens there is intensive and constant bleeding. Rectal bleeding appears to be bright red in the the bowel movements. There may or may not be pain with the passing of the bowel movement. If you have external hemrrhoids there may be pain when you sit. If you have diverticula, there may be no symptoms or you may have abdominal pains, but nothing constant. Other times you may have pain with a fever for a day or two if the diverticula become inflamed or infected. If the bleeding is caused by colon cancer, it may be the only symptom, or you may have other symptoms that include diarrhe, constipation, abdominal pain, weight loss, loss of appetite, and tiredness. Colon cancer is not a common cause of rectal bleeding, however it is more common for colon cancer to cause blood to be in the bowel movements. In this case the blood may not be visibe. There are special tests that may be performed to show that there is blood present in the stool. If you find that you have bleeding, make sure that you visit your health care provider. It is important to make sure that this is not a symptom of a serious illness. It could be something minor or a more hazardous problem. Rectal bleeding is not normal, and if it is nonstop or in large amounts you should go get emergency care. It is important to try to prevent rectal bleeding. You can help by keeping your lower intestine as clean as possible. Eat a healthy diet, drink lots of fluids, with a regular exercise plan. This will help prevent constipation, hemrrhoids and diverticula. However please consult your doctor immeidately for evalution and treatment as may be required. Best wishes -

In a manner DARDAR was straight to the Point. Your Question is a medical one, requiring a medical answer. There are many people >>out there, (maybe on Q&A) who may view this question and read Answers and then interpret the Answers to THEIR problem (which is similar to your Questions contents) and THEN falsely follow Advice given in Answers on Q&A..That's a "BIG" Problem.... BIG, BIG. .. So while DarDar talks about "us" Fools..perhaps she is right. Besides the DR. U have already visited and had examinations done..has made a correct diagnosis already. .. Good Question, though.
