When I used the bathroom today (pooped) there was large amount of blood in the toilet. The water was basically red. Completely. But it didn't hurt me to use the bathroom. I had no idea there was all that blood in the toilet until I looked down to wipe. Even though it didn't hurt me to use the bathroom, for the past few days I have been experiencing random pain in my anus. I could be sitting down, or even walking. Is this something to be concerned about? Do any of my symptoms ring a bell?

adviceman49 answered Saturday January 5 2013, 10:21 am: There are a number of reasons for this to happen. The most common is internal hemorrhoids. An internal hemorrhoid is bulge in the veins surrounding the anus. This is a condition that you could have been born with or developed over time due to hard, dry stools(poop) caused by diet. This is a condition that is not always serious or requires a doctors intervention.
There are other reasons that are also benign and not requiring a doctors intervene. There are some reasons that do require a doctors intervention. The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor and let the doctor examine you and possible send you to a specialist for a better examination then a family doctor can do.
Most likely unless something is wrong further up your intestinal track the doctors will suggest stool softeners. Surgery to correct hemorrhoids is usually an elective surgery not a required surgery.
While there is a small chance something other than hemorrhoids is the problem. I don't think you have much to worry about. Though you do need to see the doctor soon so that your mind can be put at ease and the doctors can make suggestions so as to limit this from happening.
