well, i have a problem an that problem is, ive been going to the bathroom 3 days str8 an when i go do number two, it seems blood usually follows in the process. what do u think is the cause? or wat is it?

Dr. Joshua’s Answer:

Bloody diarrhea for 3 days is cause for a visit to the doctor. Possible causes include bacterial infection (e.g. shigella) and colitis.

If it’s not diarrhea, but rather constipation and bright red blood in feces, hemmorrhoids is the most likely cause.

See your doctor, a clinical examination, possibly lab tests, fecal culture, and proctoscopy is needed to rule out other possibilities.
