It's my 22nd birthday today... and for my birthday, i got reminder from my body that...

You have herpes, as do one out of five people here.

 

[Vic]

Wow...

As others already pointed out, a little blood on the tissue or in the water is not good but not too terribly serious either. Probably 'roids. See a doctor anyway, those can get to be painful if not treated.

Blood actually in the stool is very serious and could be any number of ailments. See a doctor immediately.

Happy B-day man :beer: but your problem here has nothing to do with age. You're still young, and this is not normal.

You dojn't feel it coming out?

Oh man, here's one subject I'm almost ashamed to have expertise about.

Does it hurt when you go to the bathroom?

If so, it's very possible that you have an anal fissure that can't heal itself due to, er, lots of hard stool keeping it open. Most of these can be treated by increasing your daily fiber intake and drinking lots of fluids, or by using stool softeners, to give it time to heal. Apparently there are medicated creams that can be prescribed. However, it's highly unusual for a fissure to last for one and a half years -- they're supposed to heal in the short term just like any other cut, if not prevented by the factors I mentioned above.

I don't really see how it could be caused by wiping too hard -- unless you're using sand paper or something, which I assume you're not. It's more likely to be caused by... an overtight anal sphincter. In this case, make absolutely sure that you're never sent to prison.

There's actually a surgery for chronic anal fissures, but only if you want some dudes cutting your bum hole. Correction, -inside- your bum hole.

 

[Gravity]

More like it's straining. But, it's an interesting thread. How much blood we talkin? You talking about blood in the bowl or bloody paperwork?

 

[LinuxIdiot]

I have had that happen before rare in my case :/ i always took it as either a rip or just tearing the skin up on the days you go to the pooper ALOT.

 

[olds]

If I remember correctly from medical school...
red blood = external
black blood = internal

 

[Amused]

hemorrhoid

 

[cliftonite]

If you are bleeding from the arse, does that mean your shat is going into you bloodstream ?

Is it the crap load of blood or minor little dots of blood? Often times when I wipe there is blood but not from my rectum. It's normally from wiping with rough toilet paper too many times. The skin gets really irritating and I guess since it is so raw down there it gets kinda rough. It's like taking sand paper to something and roughing it up instead of smoothing it down.

An acute fissure is managed with non-operative treatments and over 90% will heal without surgery. Bowel habits are improved with a high fiber diet, bulking agents (fiber supplements), stool softeners, and plenty of fluids to avoid constipation and promote the passage of soft stools. Warm baths for 10-20 minutes several times each day are soothing and promote relaxation of the anal muscles. Occasionally, special medicated creams may be recommended.

ah, break ouut the oatmeal and bubble bath

 

[0roo0roo]

i do wonder if colon rectal surgeons get extra pay....

 

[eakers]

in all seriousness: is it red blood or is it like brown gross blood?

happy birthday btw

 

[hippy]

You'll probably Die before this thread does.

If you're serious about blood comin out your butt for the last year and a half, having a doctor pokin flashlights up it should be the least of your worries. You wait much longer and you'll be lucky to live to see half your inards in a jar of fermaldihide and the plastic bag hangin off your hip.
