Is this normal?
It honestly sounds like a hemorrhoid. Try the preparation h cream, and if that doesn’t work the suppositories. If it’s hemorrhoids that should help with only a dose.
Long term, you should try to reduce the amount of red meats and other fatty meat. Add more fiber to your diet. Beans and other things like brown rice and lentils.
If you are not ready for that kind of adjustment, fiber powders can help to supplement the fiber in your diet.
Also, I’m not a doctor. If you continue to experience these problems please talk to your doctor.
Thanks. I definitely have hemorrhoids. A lot of the time my asshole is bloody and itchy. It sucks.
go to the doctor.
Bright red blood? Probably not a problem but talk to your doctor if it’s persistent
Dark red to black? More serious, anywhere from get-to-the-ER-now to make an appointment asap.
This is the best answer I’ve seen. Basically the color tells you where the bleed is occurring. On/near the surface will be bright red and indicate likely fissures or hemorrhoids, while dark red to black color indicates a bleed further up the digestive tract which can be something much more serious.
Apparently doctors get asked this A LOT and a little red blood when you wipe is very normal. However, best thing to do is talk to your doctor to be on the safe side

Asking the Internet for medical advice is never, I repeat: never a good option. The best advice possible that you can get here is go see a doctor. I say that, because there is no way anyone here can do a proper assessment of your situation, so that is the only safe advice. of course, statistically speaking, it’s not likely to be something that will kill you, but we simply cannot tell from here.
My advice: don’t be alarmed too much by all the horror stories you can find, but take it seriously enough to let a qualified health professional take a look at it.
No its not normal.
