what does it mean if you have a small amount of blood on paper after a bowl movement?

That would be a "bowel" movement. If it's bright red and just a speck or two it is probably 'roids. \n\nIncrease dietary fiber, don't strain at stool, see MD if worsens

Hi! I think it's individual but usually it is not a hard bleeding. Few drops of blood that stop almost immediately (about 5 mins later). So don't worry. It's unconfortable but it's only for that 1st time. The next one u ll be just fine ;)

If there is blood in his stool then something in his digestive system is bleeding. If he is coughing up blood his upper digestive system is bleeding or his lungs are. Both GI (digestive system) bleeding and bleeding from the lungs are extremely serious and can be potientially life threatening. Please go to the ER or a doctors office immeadiately. I have never seen a minor bleed from either of these areas.

It's usually a sign of an infection.  See your doc.

possibly the lack of blood to that area... unless it's all over your body. Then you have some serious problems.

small blood vessels can break inside near the rectum when you have a bowel movement.  Or if you have hemmoroids this can happen.  It also can be very serious you need to see a doctor about this and soon!!

This could be caused by a bruised ligament, or you may even have a minor fracture.  Now, I can't be sure, because you seem to have a bit of a tissue problem in that region.  I suggest going to your doctor again, and have him X-ray it.  You could have misplaced your kneecap, which could still be allowing plasma to be leaking into the region, even after ten months.  If it's not really colored by the retention then there aren't any blood cells in the region.  You could also have air on the knee, which can be the reason it is swollen.  If it's air, it can still have liquid there as well, which could allow the feeling of swishing.  Go to your doctor, because even if it is just water on the knee you need to be sure it isn't going to endanger your joint's health.

Haha, whatever you said, I'm assuming you cough up a little bit of blood sometimes? It means something is wrong in your lungs...go to the doctor.

I believe the only ones you can tell are the superficial blood clots, which means they are closer to the surface.  It will be tender, possibly a lump and it could be red around the area.  If you believe that you may have one you should go to the doctor.

Because of the broken down foods we eat and what the body does in order to mix and break down particles. The particles therefore are chunked into like a corn shape like we see in our crap or sometimes the particles become a reddish color if there is bleeding invlolved. In other cases, what we eat depends on what exits out!

Blood in the stool can be bright red,maroon in color, black and tarry, or occult (not visible to the naked eye).Causes of blood in stool range from harmless, annoying conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as hemorrhoids to serious conditions such as cancer. Blood in the stool should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.\n\nRectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) refers to passage of bright red blood from the anus, often mixed with stool and/or blood clots. Most rectal bleeding comes from the colon, rectum, or anus. The color of the blood during rectal bleeding often depends on the location of the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Generally, the closer the bleeding site is to the anus, the blood will be a brighter red. Thus, bleeding from the anus, rectum, and the sigmoid colon tend to be bright red, whereas bleeding from the transverse colon and the right colon (transverse and right colon are�several feet away from the anus)�tend to be dark red or maroon colored.\n\nIn some patients bleeding can be black and �tarry� (sticky) and foul smelling. The black, smelly and tarry stool is called melena. Melena occurs when the blood is in the colon long enough for the bacteria in the colon to break it down into chemicals (hematin) that are black. Therefore, melena usually signifies bleeding is from the upper gastrointestinal tract (for example: bleeding from ulcers in the stomach or the duodenum or from the small intestine) because the blood usually is in the gastrointestinal tract for a longer period of time before it exits the body. Sometimes melena may occur with bleeding from the right colon. On the other hand, blood from the sigmoid colon and the rectum usually does not stay in the colon long enough for the bacteria to turn it black. Rarely, massive bleeding from the right colon, from the small intestine, or from ulcers of the stomach or duodenal can cause rapid transit of the blood through the gastrointestinal tract and result in bright red rectal bleeding. In these situations, the blood is moving through the colon so rapidly that there is not enough time for the bacteria to turn the blood black.\n\nSometimes, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract�can be too slow to cause either rectal bleeding or melena. In these patients bleeding is occult (not visible to the naked eyes). The blood is found only by testing the stool for blood (fecal occult blood testing) in the laboratory. Occult bleeding has many of the same causes as rectal bleeding and may result in the same symptoms as rectal bleeding. It is often associated with anemia that is due to loss of iron along with the blood (iron deficiency anemia). \nThis is why they did an iron test for you.

I will honestly answer this question, hoping that YOU are not being honest with us. If you were hit two weeks ago, any signs of concussion and/or brain hemmorages(ie bleeding) would more than likely have shown up then. For blood to be coming out now, that seems rather unlikely, but obviously you should not be concerned with making it stop, just go to the Emergency Department, and find out WHY it is doing it.

It happens when you press the blood vessels and the blood supply is cut off momentarily. Better keep your hands free and do not put pressure on them by putting it under your head or keeping them hard pressed between your thights etc. More suggestions only if you can tell which way you sleep. \n\nIf it persists, consult a physician

poor circulation,  blood is too thin, or you smoke.  See the doc if you don't smoke.  If you do smoke, stop.
