bright red blood is almost always coming from the distal parts of the gi tract namely the rectum or anal area. the blood can be from a polyp (again) a hemorrhoid (internal or external) an anal fissure (tiny tear that opens when you have a bm) or? there is no way to be sure "what is going on" unless you see your medical provider and have the source of this blood determined by an exam. this is too important to just guess.
i have diverticula. recently i have alot of bright red blood in first b. m. of morning. had polyp removed 8 months ago. i was diagnosed with diverticula in 2013 and had a polyp removed that was hyperplastic. recently i am experiencing a lot of blood during my first bowel movement of the day. it is bright red in color and there isn't too much pain. any other b. m. 's later are fine no blood. this just started occurring within the last 3-5 days. what's going on?
