    Question

    recently as i have been having bowl movements, blood has been coming out with it, and i was wondering is this normal. i have a doctors appointment, however i wanted to check into it for myself.

    Answer

    If it is bright red blood on the tissue, it is probably a fissure (cut). Are you constipated?
