General Practitioner Questions blood in stool

Blood

I just have a question whenever I wipe, there is a lot of blood and just today when I pooped, the toilet water was red. Is this serious? I don’t know what to do. Do I go visit a doctor?

Yes, come to the office for evaluation
The most common cause of blood from you anus is haemorhoids. Although unusual at your age, not unheard of. A bout of salmenelosis could also be considered, but then you should have other symptoms like nausea and stomach pains. More serious diagnoses could be considered, but you should definitely see you doctor.
