Bleeding from the rectum after a bowel movement can be a scary experience. At first we may panic and think the worst has happened because blood in the stool is not a natural occurrence and should be checked out. Usually it is something simple, like anal fissures which are cuts or scrapes along the gastrointestinal tract but usually near the opening of the anus. Fissures are a fairly common condition. It affects people of all ages males and females. Hard stools are the main cause of anal fissures. This happens during a bowel movement when the hard stool scrapes along the anal lining. Those who suffer from constipation have a tendency to strain to pass a stool.
Rectal bleeding is the most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids. Since bleeding can also be a symptom of other more serious disorders (such as colon cancer), it’s important to get an accurate diagnosis.
Another common condition may be hemorrhoids leading to bleeding from the rectum in females and men alike. Although many people have hemorrhoids not all experience symptoms. The most common symptom of hemorrhoids is bright red bleeding, bleeding rectum, blood covering the stool, blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl.
Pregnancy is another common cause of bleeding from the rectum. The pregnancy causes constipation, then straining and finally a hemorrhoids may result. The reason may be partly mechanical in that the pressure of the heavy womb caused by the baby compresses the intestine and pressures the rectum. Hormonal problems also caused by rising progesterone levels can occur. The more progesterone the less likely the colon is able to absorb water which helps the stool to slide down the anal passages. For most women this is a temporary situation and things will become normal after the child birth.
