It means you've sat in blood and then sat in all of these places including your on your stool.\n\nAnd Justathought, for goodness sake, I've had to pull you up this before: YOUR Island. What you typed means "not much else to do on you are little island" Which is gibberish.\n\nYou don't want to talk gibberish when you're calling some one a dill hole, it makes you look like a dill hole, which I'm guessing is not pretty.

How much are your bleeding?  If it just light bleeding and it is bright red, it more than likely is related to hemorrhoids which can be internal.  Do you have itching?  Did it occur after a large or hard bowel movement... if so it is most likely hemmorhoids.  If it continues, please see your doctor as bleeding can be a sign of something more serious.

My, you got a problem, don't you?  Unless it's just something you ate, like a ton of vanilla ice cream, pale colored stools means you have malabsorption.  It can be from chronic pancreatitis or possibly cirrhosis, or something wrong with the small intestines.  Maybe this person had a stomach pain from an ulcer and drank alot of maalox or mylanta, which colored his stool white and he has some blood from the ulcer??  You can get ulcers from drinking too much booze, from taking too much aspirin or aspirin like drugs like ibuprofen, or from a bacterial infection called helicobacter. This person needs to get checked out, if he hasnt.

External hemroids do not bleed. External bleeding is likely caused by an anal fissure. Because hemeroids are swollen veins, scraping by hard stools or stretched during bowel movements will cause bleeding. The blood from bleeding hemroid can appear as red or reddish streaks in the stools. Note that any bleeding from the rectum can indicate serious illness and should be examined by a physician asap.

Yes, it's bile in the blood stream. Usually means you have a liver complaint. Go and see the doctor.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse so i can tell you that 'piles' are not a disease or an illness. Anyone can have them, I have them.They are caused either by constipation, or having a baby or some other digestive problem. They are the veins of the anal canal, they sometimes drop down or you can have internal ones.How do you know it's piles.The reason you bleed is because when you pass a stool they press against them causing them to rupture,they are sometimes painfull, they also itch.They can even bleed without passing a stool. I suggest you contact me on gloriashealth@btinternet for some help.Please give me your full e mail address i cannot contact you via yahoo answers.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

It is quite likely that it is something simple like a anal fissure which is like a small cut (out of which comes a lot of blood). Its a good idea to see a doctor in any case, but try not to worry too much about it because this is VERY common!\n\nThe doctor should be able to provide some advice to help you deal with it now and how you might avoid it in the future.

It just means that you're blood cells are dying. Try Neosporin or call a doctor if matters get worse.

A normal bowel movement is different for each person and may vary in consistency and frequency. There are, however, several indications that a bowel movement is abnormal and may be the sign of a more serious problem. \nA change in bowel habits includes any constant change in bowel frequency, color, consistency, or shape of stools. This sign warrants special concern in people who are over the age of 50 years.\n\nBlood. Frank blood in the stool is never normal, and could be a result of several conditions that range from mild, such as hemorrhoids, to serious, such as infection or colon cancer. Bloody stools should always be evaluated by a physician.\n\nBlack stools. Black, tarry stools with a foul odor can be the result of eating certain foods, taking iron supplements, or possibly from internal bleeding.\n\nRed or maroon stools. Red or maroon stools could be from something benign, such as eating red colored foods or it could be caused by several different conditions including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, colon polyps or colon cancer, diverticular bleeding, or inflammatory bowel disease.\n\nGreen stool. Green stool may be caused by green or artificially colored foods, iron supplements, or decreased colonic transit time.\n\nPale or clay colored stools. Stools that appear pale or look like clay could be the result of lack of bile salt (which gives stool a brownish color), antacids, barium from recent barium enema test, or hepatitis.\n\nYour BEST bet is to go see your Family Physician!

It's when you see something like blood or something that makes your stomach turn.

Visible blood in the stool must originate from somewhere very low in the rectum or the anus. Bleeding higher up in the digestive tract isn't so visible, because it's partially digested or mixed in the stool. Strangely enough, blood that's not obvious -- it's actually black -- may be worse than the bright-red variety. \n\n\nHemorrhoids are the most likely cause. Although usually not serious, hemorrhoids can be quite alarming and very irritating. Most often, changes in habits can relieve them. Drinking lots of water and eating a diet rich in fiber both help, and it's also important to avoid straining when having a bowel movement. People who exercise regularly tend to be more regular; besides, too much sitting has an obvious effect. If itching is a concern, over-the-counter medication can help. In rare cases, the situation gets serious enough that minor surgery is needed. \n\n\nOther, less common causes include irritation or rash from diarrhea, infection, or irritants such as colored toilet paper, and fissures (cracks) in the rectum. Infection or fissures may require a doctor's help to correct.

Blood in stool can be caused by hemorrhoids, an-al fissures, polyps, Crohn's Disease, peptic ulcer disease, and diverticulitis. Generally, the closer the bleeding site is to the an-us, the blood will be a brighter red. Thus, bleeding from the an-us, 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 an-us) tend to be dark red or maroon colored. Stomach ulcers caused by ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin are common causes of upper GI bleeding. Please see your doctor to determine what the exact cause may be.

You should ask a doctor--a gastroenterologist told me that blood can come from a lot of places.  It could be a skin tear.  Usually, the brighter the blood, the closer to the surface the blood came from (I have also heard this).  In my case, I have IBS, and had to be put on medication.  Preparation H might help too.

Yes, and it depends on how much bleeding.  It could be hemmoroids but  it can be a sign of rectal cancer or some other cancer.  Go see a doc.

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.
