What Could It Be If Something Bloody Is Hanging From Anus After Bowels?
Please help. Male here. I've been feeling a weird sensation in my bowels everytime I stand up after using the toilet. Tonight after using the toilet, I looked at my anus and saw that something thin was slightly protruding from it. I tried to get a hold of it but couldnt get a grip with my fingers. It did leave blood on them however. Is this a worm or something else?

Hi..
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You have problem of blood in stool that may be because of ulcerative colitis or diverticular disease or other reasons.
Intestinal polyp may cause this type of symptoms.
Hemorroid may ruled out.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.
Colonoscopy examination can done if needed..
Take care.
Thank you.
