    My brother/sister/non-binary sibling in Christ!

    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.

    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.

        A lot of the time my asshole is bloody

        Then it is too late for the good advice from that comment above. You are at a later stage. You need a doctor ASAP.

    I’ve been told by a gastroenterologist that ANY blood in stool is bad. There should be none. Ever. Go see a doctor

    Going off of your username, probably not. But for real life, and iirc, if it’s red blood, it’s less problematic and if it’s black/dark (from being digested) it’s likely more of an issue. Regardless, this is one for legit doctors.

    No, not normal at all. Being a patient with UC I can tell you that if blood is bright red, it means it comes from either the colon, rectum, or anus being the latter possibly due to hemorrhoids. If stool is very dark, like almost black, the bleeding is most likely from the upper digestive system being the stomach or esophagus possibly the culprits.

    Either way, I strongly suggest you go to a doctor and check what’s going on. Blood on stools is something serious that needs attention immediately.

    If there is blood in your urine or stool, then you should definitely see your doctor. Blood in urine indicates something is wrong in or around your kidneys and blood in the stool indicates there is a tear or something wrong somewhere in your GI tract.

    I agree completely with the emphatic comments about not asking for medical advice on the internet.

    As an aside… some of you big guys are wearing your belts really tight and strangling your assholes into hemrroids to desperately keep your pants up. Consider switching to suspenders for the love of God. It can make a huge difference in the health of you asshole vasculature, stop the itching and bleeding after a few months. You can wear the suspenders under your shirt it you don’t like the style.

    Probably not. If you just had hemorrhoids of doom or had to wipe your ass raw, then you might get blood for a day or two, but otherwise go see a doctor. Pooping blood is a huge medical red flag - no pun intended.
