I have had some itchiness in my anus for awhile and I never really thought about it as a big problem. I have a bad habit of straining when I go to the bathroom, and a small amount of bright red blood was showing up on my stool, and sometimes on the toilet paper. I assumed it was roids after doing a lot of research because i got really nervous since im only 18. I put off making my crappy diet better, and now im regretting it because recently, I went #2 and i felt a sharp pain right on my anus, and I thought it might be a tear, because I passed a large hard stool. There was a small drop of blood in the toilet. The next time I went to the bathroom after that there was a good amount of blood in the toilet. Not a rediculous amount, but enough to change the color of the water a little bit. I wiped myself and there was a lot of blood on the paper. There was no pain except for the small tear on my anus, but I'm really concerned. Plz HELP ME!!

ty for the replies. I'm going to go to a doc asap. But I'm really freaked out!! im lookin at info sites and Im reading about colon cancer and ulcerative colitis and stuff...and I'm only 18 and im afraid im going to get cancer or UC or sumthin, and it's scaring me.

Hah! Looking at info sites before you go the doc is always a surefire way to freak yourself out! :PI honestly wouldn't be worrying about colon cancer - it's pretty unlikely at your age and from the symptoms you described. As for UC - I'm 19 and was diagnosed with UC about 6 months ago. While the bleeding was a major giveaway, I also had awful stomach cramping and could barely eat, which doesn't sound like you either.It sounds to me like you're looking at roids or tears from straining. But if it does happen to be UC or something, you'll be ok. It's not that bad - I promise Good luck!! Let us know the diagnosis

turns out I have an anal fissure. The doc gave me a persription for a stool softener, and a list of healthier things to eat. Thx for all of ur replies!!

It's only really bad stuff when you think it's nothing and ignore it. lol If you're really freaked out, it'll be nothing.
