Should I Visit The Doctor For Bleeding During A Bowel Movement?
I'm a heavy drinker and tonight I had a lot of blood come out when I pooped I've never had this happen and I'm wondering what could cause this. I'm 32 I'm aware of what my continuous drinking is doing but I need to know if I should go to the hospital now or can wait and go to the doctor

Hi,
How can we answer that without actually seeing you? We can't know how much drinking and how much blood. Some people would be concerned with a small bit of irritation from rubbing with toilet tissue too much and having a drop of blood. Others would lose about 1-3 cups and this would be a reason for brief hospitalization. And any amount if one felt faint.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
