I was out for my easy run today, and afterwards I was using the bathroom. When I sat down and pulled down my pants I noticed a giant red spot in my shorts liner! I wiped with some toilet paper to confirm: I was bleeding from my but! I have a sensitive area down there and if I wipe too hard I can have issues but this was like full on bleeding! Do I have hemhorroids or what? Does anyone else struggle with this?
See your doctor to get it checked out. I started having that issue about 15 years ago and was pretty alarmed. Went to the doc, got a bunch of tests done (digital exam, sigmoidoscope, colonoscopy, barium enema) and it turned out to be the simple result of a large hemorrhoid. In my case, it stays inside most of the time, but when it pops out it can bleed. Evidently there is day surgery to have it removed, but I've always been more scared of that prospect than annoyed by the occasional pain in the ass (pun intended).
If I recall from when I was seeing the doctor, bright red blood is a pretty good indication it may come from a hemorrhoid. If it's darker it may have travelled from further inside, where there are fewer innocuous explanations for bleeding.
Get to the doc, and good luck!
Yep totally could be a hemhorroid, especially as the previous poster noted its red not darker and older. I had one this past summer, butt was itchy feeling and I bled a bit into the toilet for a few days. Doctor checked it out but said it was no big deal, and it cleared up on its own.
