If it's darkly colored (dark red / brown / black), then you're bleeding farther up into the intestine than near than anus. If it's bright red, you're bleeding from very close to the anus if not from the sphincter itself. Bright red is better than dark. Dark means you could have cancer. 60,000 people died last year from intestinal-related cancers.

Bright red means you either ripped something while most likely experiencing pain during a bowel movement or that you've got hemorhoids. If it itches/burns then you've probably go hemorhoids. Cremes can help with the irritation, but curing hemorhoids is done with proper diet and exercise.

i know it's from right inside the sphincter because it freakin hurts. and it's bright red...but it freackin hurts

You have hemorhoids.

 

[lokiju]

Huhuhuh you said poop!

 

[angedinoir]

You're fine, eat more fiber so that your shite is softer, drink more water. Don't force it. Common problem.

What Causes Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are caused by repeated pressure and strain, which may be caused by:
...
Diarrhea (frequent, loose, watery stool)
...

How Can I Prevent Hemorrhoids?

The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep bowel movements regular and stool soft.

anyone can explain this?

Oh, and to the OP, it's happened to me before. Not that that means anything, because rather than reassuring you something's not wrong it could just mean we both have cancer

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.fascrs.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=3">What is an anal fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the skin lining the anus which can cause pain and/or bleeding.
What are the symptoms of an anal fissure?

The typical symptoms of an anal fissure are extreme pain during defecation and red blood streaking the stool. Patients may try to avoid defecation because of the pain.

What causes an anal fissure?

A hard, dry bowel movement can cause a tear in the anal lining, resulting in a fissure. Other causes of a fissure include diarrhea and inflammation of the anorectal area.
Anal fissures may be acute (recent onset) or chronic (present for a long time or recurring frequently). An acute fissure is usually due to altered bowel habits while a chronic fissure may be either due to poor bowel habits, overly tight or spastic anal sphincter muscles, scarring or an underlying medical problem.

How can a fissure be treated?

An acute fissure is managed with non-operative treatments and over 90% will heal without surgery. Bowel habits are improved with a high fiber diet, bulking agents (fiber supplements), stool softeners, and plenty of fluids to avoid constipation and promote the passage of soft stools. Warm baths for 10-20 minutes several times each day are soothing and promote relaxation of the anal muscles. Occasionally, special medicated creams may be recommended.
A chronic fissure (lasting greater than one month) may require additional treatment. Depending on the appearance of the fissure, other medical problems such as inflammatory bowel disease or infections may be considered and testing may be recommended. A manometry test may be performed to determine if anal sphincter pressures are high. An examination under anesthesia may be recommended to determine if a definite reason exists for lack of healing.

What can be done if a fissure doesn't heal?

A fissure that fails to respond to treatment should be re-examined to determine if a definitive reason exists for lack of healing. Such reasons can include scarring or muscle spasm of the internal anal sphincter muscle. Those which continue to cause pain and/or bleeding can be corrected by surgery.

What does surgery involve?

Surgery usual consists of a small operation to cut a portion of the internal anal sphincter muscle. This helps the fissure to heal by decreasing pain and spasm. Cutting this muscle rarely interferes with the ability to control bowel movements and can usually be performed without an overnight hospital stay.
How long does the healing process take after surgery?

Complete healing occurs in a few weeks, although pain often disappears after a few days.

Will the problem return?

More than 90% of patients who require surgery for this problem have no further trouble from fissures. If the problem returns without an obvious cause, the person may need further assessment including anal manometry testing or an exam under anesthesia.
Can fissures lead to colon cancer?

No! Persistent symptoms need careful evaluation, however, since conditions other than fissure can cause similar symptoms. </a>

 

[AmdEmAll]

I took like 5 shits the other day and our toilet paper is like sandpaper here so that didn't turn out good. I was bleedin some. Went away the next day though.

Not really. It COULD be really serious if it keeps happening.

My wife got an anal fissure after the birth of my son (four years ago). It hurt so bad she would be in tears over a two-hour car ride. She could not stand for very long, and she could not sit for very long. It ruined her life for a while. She eventually had to have surgery for this. Not plesant at all. It has been three years since the surgery, and she still has to watch her diet and drink plenty of water to avoid problems.

My advice:
1) Drink a lot of water, and make sure that you get some fiber each day.
2) Take a stool softener (docusate sodium or docusate calcium) if you need to.
3) If the problem persists, see a colo-rectal doctor.

My wife was told by two or three different doctors that it was "just hemmerhoids." She thought that she was imagining the pain after having several doctors tell her that there was nothing really wrong. But seeing a specialist who knew about this sort of thing was a real help. If this persists, you are MUCH better off seeing a guy who deals with 10 of these things per week, as opposed to a family doc who might have seen one once.
