chris54 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 Get down to the doctor as soon as you can. This sort of thing is never minor. You would be justified going to A and E with this. Without more detailed it could be anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
**Mia Report post Posted June 11, 2009 Hello Chris, Thank you, for your advice. I read somewhere bright red, isn't anything serious like cancer so I am relieved about that. Enissa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beedo Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Still worth getting checked out. Bright red blood means that it is fresh and is from the lower end of the anus. This however could be a symptom of Hemorrhoids or something similar. I'd get it looked at anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
