I had a VERY large stool 3 days ago, every since then I have been bleeding from my rectum, i think its a hemorrhoid, but it bleeds all the time, not just during bowel movements. Its a bright red blood its not gushing but it looks like im on my period when i pull my panties down. Is this normal?

This is extremely embarrassing to ask, but anyway…

About a year ago I noticed a little blood on the toilet paper after I took quite a large poop, nothing major, it was just a little spot so I thought nothing of it.
I’ve always had difficulty passing a stool, and have usually had to strain really hard to get one out, causing quite a lot of pain. After I’ve done this, however, there is no pain whatsoever.
Over the past two weeks or so, I’ve had extra trouble passing a stool, due to straining so hard. After I’ve done, I noticed blood dripping in the toilet and bright, red blood on the toilet paper.
About an hour ago I took a very hard poop, and there was quite a lot of blood. I tried to minimize my straining as low as possible, and hardly didn’t at all, but there was still blood.
I’ve looked into this I figure I either have an anal fissure, or hemorrhoids. I’ve felt around for a lump and there doesn’t appear to be one on on my exterior. There’s so pain or blood after I’ve passed a stool. Does this sound more like an anal fissure or an internal hemorrhoid?
I’m extremely terrified right now. Depending on which I’ve got, is it dangerous, and will it go away on its own? What changes in my diet do I need to take? I’ve tried drinking quite a lot of water and eating sources of fiber over the past couple of days to get my stools normal, but this hasn’t worked so far. I don’t want to tell my parents. I’m really hoping this will go away on its own, I’m just scared.
Thank you.
If worst comes to worst, and I have to tell my parents, I’ll tell my mum. How can I tell her about this? What should I say?

Ok so for the past three days, i have went once a day (to the bathroom) and noticed a tiny (on two occasions) or none (one occasion) bit of blood in the toilet itself, but when i wipe with a tissue it shows a significant amount of blood. I have went to the doctor and he checked for external hemorrhoids, he said there were none, then he told me that 95 percent of cases at my age ( i am 17 ) are internal hemorrhoids in a situation such as this one. He gave me some medicine to take for a week or so. Today i felt some abdominal pain and bloating, i am worried that i am bleeding from the GI tract, can someone please tell me if waiting a week can cause serious damage to my GI tract (if it is not hemorrhoids), and how long i should wait, because i am very worried that i am internally bleeding as we speak and by one weeks time i will suffer from gangrene.

Help is appreciated…thank you
Sorry! forgot to say : It is bright red to darker shade of red blood, and i know that means its from the lower GI, but still, i want to know if waiting a little will cause unrepairable damage…

Hello,I am a 30/yr old woman. For the past few months,I have been experiencing fatigue really bad. I have blood in my stool that fills the water.Other times when I haven’t had a bowel movement and I wipe, bright red blood is on it.My temperature is normally now with all of this going on 97.7 but at times during the day goes to 99.9. My blood pressure is fluctuating between 100/60-130/80 in the course of a day as well. I have lower pain on my far lower side of my stomach and occasionally pain that comes and goes on my lower right side. I have made an appointment with the,G.I and it’s a two month wait to be seen and they cannot get me in any sooner. I do know I have internal hemorrhoids,but I don’t think it would cause this. I go from constipation with blood in it to pencil thin stools with blood in it. I have gone to the ER since the Dr can’t see me sooner and they said my cat scan with contrast in it reveals nothing and that my blood results are normal. So what could t his possibly be? Thank you
also diaherriah has blood in the stool as well
should also add that I get chills a lot even with it being in the 90′s outside and my feet are normally cold now.Anyone knows what this could be please let me know.Only one GI dr here that takes my insurance and I have tried getting the appointment sooner but they can’t.

Recently I have been experiencing trouble defecating, its not so much constipation as my stools come out soft but I am not going as often as I should even though my diet has not changed. My stool is thinner for some reason and occasionally there is a bit of bright red blood on tissue paper when wiping. I noticed this happened about a month ago but it resolved. Is it internal hemorrhoids, I have to add that I weightlift frequently and have heard that squats can cause hemmorhoids. There is also a feeling of pressure in my lower rectum, but it is not painful. I am scheduled for a check up this friday and hope its nothing serious. Should I be worried that it is cancer? BTW I am hispanic male, not obese nor diabetic and there is no history of colorectal cancer in my family, but there is a history of diabetes and heart disease.
