None of us would be able to tell you what is wrong on such limited information (and without a medical degree). Call a doctor, and they will be able to run some tests to figure out what's up. [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]

But if you were constipated and had to push hard when you were going to the bathroom, you might have just torn a little because you were trying to go so hard. As I said, there could be a lot of causes. If it continues to happen, make an appointment with your doctor and tell him what's up.
