Hi I m a male and I ve been shitting bright red blood for a couple of months now, almost every time I wipe there is blood on toilet paper and sometimes I feel like a shit but when I go toilet I ll fart and just blood will come out is it serious or not? My wife wants me to go get it checked out but I feel fine within myself.

Hi,
Suggestive of some underlying abnormal condition. Blood in the bowel can be caused by hemorrhoids, fistula, rectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis, infections, diverticulosis, and colorectal cancer.
Advised to consult a surgeon for further clinical evaluation to determine the cause of bleeding followed by its appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
