If you’re not joking, blood in stool is worth going to the doctor to figure out. It is not worth delaying over as it can be the first sign of colon cancer.

Chat, it’s normal to bleed every time you wipe, right?

Just in case you’re NOT joking, go see a doctor. You have colon cancer.

Bright red is fine, it’s the dark, congealed blood you want to worry about. That’s what daddy told me at least :3

Yeah, bright red is just a shallow scratch somewhere near the, uh, opening. Darker blood might be internal bleeding and that can get really bad quickly.

Not necessarily, can also be hemorrhoids from too much sitting and a bad diet. But you (and I) should definitely see a doctor.
