I have had Diarrhea for almost a week now, however my last Bowel movement was constipation, The diarrhea was very acidic and caused burning around the anus, I gave up on my most recent BM about halfway through (I got about half of the fecal matter out), and wiped. The big issue lies here; When I was wiping, I found a few drops of blood on the toilet paper. It was bright red and quite obviously fresh blood. Should I be worried? Could the tenderness from the acidic diarrhea cause this?
Additional info: I am experiencing very minor pain in the abdominal and hip area, but this started after reading symptoms of different possible causes online, and i have felt very anxious since discovering the blood. (I am a known hypochondriac) And I think my mind might be creating false symptoms due to anxiety (not the first time my mind has done so)
I am 17 years old and male.
