Blood... may be a hemmeroid, but I'm not sure

---

I'm gonna apologize in advance for being so graphic...

I'm slightly worried about this one. I just finished a #2 a few minutes ago, and the first wipe was all red... I've had roids before, but they hurt like a bitch. This was 100% painless. The other thing I noticed was that the water had a reddish-tinge to it too, so I must have let out quite a bit... I was just wonderin though, do 'roids always burn? I have a feeling it may just be one... or at least I hope :S

There are internal and external hemorrhoids. You may not experience a lot of pain with internal hemorrhoids until it extrudes. If this happens, then it becomes excruciatingly painful. External hemorrhoids are usually painful more of the time and less bloody. In either case you should go see a doctor. If it is not hemorrhoids in can incur other very possibly more serious problems that are best found early.

First off, don't apologise for being graphic! it helps.Secondly, go get it checked out. As someone has already pointed out, it could be internal roids, or it could be a bowel disease. Get it checked out just to be sure. And if the medication they give you doesn't work, go back again! I can't stress that enough - don't just hope it will go away. It could be something more serious.good luck!
