Bloody Stool

[rorick the hammer]

Hello.
I am a little concerned and I am looking for some consoling advice.
Lately, within the last two weeks I have noticed that when I use the washroom, a few times I have had bloody feces. Well, rather not the feces themselves, but when I clean myself afterwards, the toiler paper is blood colored. This is clearly blood and not just red fecal matter.
It is not all the time this occurs only a few times in the last few weeks.
It has never happened previously.
I have no prior symptoms having to do with anything bowel related.
I regularily use amphetamine/methamphetamine as well as ephedrine. Also I occasionally use marijuana and often use GHB.
I would appreciate any information as to why this may be, if it is drug related, what I should do, etc.
I would rather not go see a doctor about these matters as it is an uncomfortable subject, however I will if I have to.
I have no other symptoms of sickness and I feel no discomfort.
thanks
rorick

Well if it is red that means that it is close by. What I mean is that if the blood in your stool is black then that is a sign of internal bleeding going on somewhere. When it is red your chances of it being a hemorroid or a rectal cyst are better. But the question is, is there alot or only a few drops? Regardless, seeing a doctor and being honest about your drug use/abuse is a must. Advice from a board of people that have never seen your ass is not as good as the real thing. Good Luck!

Well. The topic is touchy for a couple of reasons, those reasons being
a) possible drug problems
b) possible drug tests
c) my ass
I am reluctant to go to a doctor because of this. I suppose it is probably best that I go and I imagine that if this continues I will.
I think that I shall give it a little more time and maybe lay of the drugs for a while and see if that helps.
I can't tell if there is a lot of blood or a little. The entire contact area of the toilet paper against anal area is red.
I don't know if that's a lot or a little.
Please more comments would be helpful. I have also posted this in Medical. I am awaiting responses there too.

Well, I am getting more and more tense about this.
Does anyone have any information on the likelihood of this being drug related or not?

You'd get a better response if you posted in the correct forum : Medical
Sounds like a fissure to me. This is a tear in the anal tissue which can be caused by a number of things. Do a search on the internet or webmd. You need to get the right kind of laxative to make your BM's soft. A friend just went through this very thing. It will heal.
I doubt it was drug related, but I'm not a physician.

Moved to med Q&A, this could be a VERY serious problem ...
