Why does blood usually appear at the very end of bm s?

I have wondered this often as it happens a lot and I don't understand it. I see a bowl with virtually no blood except some streaking, except then at the very top is blood.

All I can guess is it has something to do with why I feel like I end every bowel movement with a straining action. But that doesn't solve it to me...

Hi Urthona. The same thing happens to me, usually for several days after the worst bleeding has been brought under control. Sometimes I stand up thinking I'm finished and happy to see no blood - but then I have to sit down again and there it is - a final red decoration on top of the rest. I don't have any explanation for it except that maybe there's some area of the rectum that does not empty until everything else has passed.

Your large intestine uses motions to move stool along. Uc bleeding is very small amounts from a given spot. I'd bet those motions might trigger small amounts of bleeding, it collects as stool moves slowly through the large intestine, and you get what you see.

Could be a fissure or a hemmie. But remember that if you have formed stool during a flare....its limited infmallation in the rectum only. If you have blood, it means the tissue is fragile, a more advanced aspect of inflammation, but healing or increasing since it's only a small amount of blood which has been brought forth from stool going over that area.

Rectal meds....can't stress that enough!
