Blood on tissue paper?

Hi, my aunt tells me that because I'm wearing tight yoga pants it's causing me to bleed from my bottom. Is that true?

"Bleeding from bottom" can be caused by a number of problems, from relatively simple ones such as a mucosal tear, to more complex chronic diseases. Typically, this type of problem would require at least talking to your primary provider, likely being examined, and possibly having testing done. Tight pants are unlikely to cause bleeding.
Highly unlikely. More likely mild constipation causing minor trauma. Increase fluids and high-fiber foods. If you have pain or it continues, see a doctor.
