hello, well this has been happening for the past 2 months, i talked my uncle hes a doctor , but he wasnt much help, and that was when it was first happening. Now again its happening, he told me that it was most likely my eating habits, the diet i was on, that if burned when i pooped? it didnt burn. it began with blood on the poop , then it went off to blood coming after i pooped, i was told that maybe theyre hemroids on the otside, but then he said they might be from the inside, because the blood looks fresh... and i also got told it can be cancer?? should i be worried? thank you ....

Hi Bashful - Should you be worried? Yes, anal bleeding isn't normal and needs to be checked out, especially if it has lasted for two months. Your uncle has provided some very helpful information, but the next step is yours. You need to make an appointment to see your doctor right away and get to the...um...bottom...of this problem. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

To help you better understand why you need to see a doctor, please review our information on hemmoroids https://www.empowher.com/hemorrhoids/content/hemmorhoids
and on anal cancer: https://www.empowher.com/media/reference/anal-cancer

There are other conditions that could also be causing the bleeding. Until you are examined by a physician though you won't know what you're dealing with or be able to treat it and get better.

Will you let us know when you make your appointment and what you learn? We hope all goes well and you're back to good health soon!

This happened to me and I just ended up going to the emergency room because I didn't want to wait to see a doctor. Luckily, i had a flex-sigmoidoscopy and found signs of ulcerative colitis. I just got a rx for an anti-inflammatory and have turned to Ayurveda to heal myself. So hemmorroid? most likely, ulcerative colitis? maybe, cancer? hard to tell but unlikely if your young, don't smoke and know exactly what food chemicals are NOT in your body (ie, partially hydrogenated oils--trans fat)
