Anyone else ever poop blood?????????????

and I mean A LOT of blood!!! I've had blood in my stool (look at me using the correct terminology) before but I've NEVER had it pour out my @ss before!! Am I OK???

If its really red and truly pouring out, I'd say go to the hospital, don't take advice off here Marie!!! I don't care if anyone else had this, that's not something you should be self diagnosing

hey sweetie
I'm a doctor and I can probably help. Any other symptoms? Pain with defecation?
Do you/have you ever had hemorrhoids?

Ok, go to the bathroom and put your finger in your butt. If you feel swollen bumps - then you have internal hemorrhoids.
If you feel swollen bumps on the outside of your as*hole (sorry for the blunt language) then you have external hemorrhoids.

in either case - it's not serious.

it sounds like hemorrhoids to me. Don't worry too much sweetie. It's imp that you're not bleeding now. If you were bleeding a lot at all times then it might be internal bleeding or something else a lot more serious. I'm assuming you don't have any medical conditions - right?

No prob sweetie! Here is some info on at home treatment:
Hot sitz baths

A sitz bath is recommended 3 times a day and after each bowel movement for at least 15 minutes.

For a sitz bath, sit in a few inches of warm water in a tub.

This is the best way to lessen the swelling and the pain.

Be sure to thoroughly dry the skin around your anus after each bath so that it doesn't rub and become torn.

-Dietary changes
Drink more liquids and eat more leafy green vegetables, which will make stools bulkier and softer to relieve constipation.

Some people with constipation or hard stools may benefit from increasing the amount of bran and fiber in their diet.

-Stool softeners might also help.

You should be cautious in choosing a laxative for your constipation.

If a laxative causes watery, runny stools, it could cause an infection in the anus and should not be used.

did you check yourself? do you feel them?

How do you got those anyways??? What did I do wrong??

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements as well as pregnancy. It is thought that these conditions lead to increased pressure in the hemorrhoid veins, thus causing them to swell. Liver disease can also cause increased pressure in the veins and also cause hemorrhoids.

I agree with both of the posts above.

Sounds like a hemorrhoid. You should make an appt with a doctor for tomorrow (just tell him/her the situation...they should squeeze you in) either way (because it's hard to diagnose yourself).

Go to the ER NOW if you have dizziness, you feel like passing out when standing, bleeding after pooping is done, vomiting blood, ect.

Sometimes a little bleeding can look like a lot in the toilet....but it's hard to tell anything just by a short description on-line.
