Here is a real answer to your question. It is important to see your doctor. He will order the proper tests to determine the cause of the bloody stool. Since the blood is bright red it is lower down (rectum) possibly from a hemorrhoid. Dark coffee like stools can be more of a concern. Don't over diagnosis yourself on line before you have any tests done. Good luck.

I think you ought to go to the Emergency room, and tell them what has happened. It sounds like menstrual cycle, but if it came out of your anus, that is cause for concern. Go to the ER.
3 :
One episode of rectal bleeding and a stomach ache does not make symptoms of colon cancer. From your other questions you are a teenager which makes it even more unlikely. Talk to your mom about it and change your diet.

First let me thank you for what you're doing here. I'm 26 yr old blk male and for most of my life I've been in relatively good health and aside from my bowel problems I'm in good physical condition. Beginning in the fall of 2000 started having bowel problems..I became constipated and could feel gasBacterial gastroenteritis Barium enema Blood gases Blood gases test Chagas disease Culture of gastric tissue biopsy Feeding tube insertion - gastrostomy Gas - flatulence Gastrectomy - series Gastric cancer Gastric culture build up but had serious problem releasing it. I visited a Gastroenterologist and told them my symptoms. I was put on a fiber supplement and all my symptoms disappeared. A few months later they returned, not as bad as before but they were there. I visited the doctor again. I was give a blood test(not sure exactly what they tested for) and I was informed it came out negetative. Over the past 8-12 months my symptoms have gone and returned but now they are steady. Though I no longer experience constipation or gasBacterial gastroenteritis Barium enema Blood gases Blood gases test Chagas disease Culture of gastric tissue biopsy Feeding tube insertion - gastrostomy Gas - flatulence Gastrectomy - series Gastric cancer Gastric culture problems as long as I take the fiber supplement and/or eat a good number of fruits and vegetablesVegetable laxative. I do experience straining with my stools at times and aggravation sometimes pain in my lower back and buttocks area. This usually occurs after I take a stool and sitting seems to make it worse. Once thing that has been constant over this time is mucus in my stools. Not with every stool but the majority, sometimes not much and other times it's very noticeable. I have not seen any noticeable blood. Another problem I have and I'm not sure if this is related is every so often after a stool in which I strainStrains, semen comes out of my penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain and I experience a pain there.
