![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah im sorry for the topic, but this has happened to me a few times. I was just wondering if it happens to any of you. I have a feeling that because of the high protein diet, along with little fiber intake and whatnot, I strain too much and i have blood in my stoole. It happened to me today, and i was straining big time.(face turning red type straining) Do you think the blood was from the straining, cuz im afraid to go to the docs and get a sigmoid done. Please respond with the possible senarios. Peace ------------------ IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That happened to me one time from an extremely heavy leg day, the doc said everything was fine. You can burst blood vessels by straining too much. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It usually happens when I restrict my carb intake and dont get enough fiber. Try to take in more fiber and go to the pharmacy and get suppositories, makes shitin a hell of alot easier. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You need to do an enema first to clear the constipation, then supplement with Metamucil (or some other fiber supplement). IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() well if its bright red, like if you just cut yourself, its coming from your anus,,,hence hemmroids,,if its a dark red alsmost brown in color its coming from higher up in the gastrointestinal canal..hence ulcer ..colonascomy in the near future.. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Check to see if most of it is on the paper when you wipe. If it is bright red, most likely anal fissure. Usually tears from straining just at the opening. Should heal on its own as long as your stools are soft enough (nice verbage, huh). Sometimes this will stripe your shit as it comes out. However, if you clearly have dark blood mixed in your stool see a doc ASAP. Usually, that's not a good sign. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, this was an intelligent but disgusting post. lol. Glad to hear that you are going to the doctor. Again, it would all depend on what color the blood is. How much blood and if there are any other symptoms associated with it. Like dizziness, exhaustion upon exertion, lightheadedness when you stand up, stars or black spots. These as well as others can be a sign of anemia or blood loss. Keep an eye on the stool. If it is black then you definetly need to get into a doctor. Bright red spotting is usaully something to worry about but your doctor will take care of you. Peace bro. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() happened to me before. Doc said dark red/brown is from GI, red or pink blood is probably from a tear in the tissue from straining and passing a big turd. No need to worry he told me. If your uncomfortable about it consult your doc. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've had this happen a number of times. It is no big deal. If you are sitting there straining and pushing for that big guy to come out and there is blood on it, then you just tore something or gave yourself a little cut. But if you have an easy poo and there is blood on it, then you should worry. IP: Logged |
