I have blood on my paper after a bowel movement but no pain, what can I do?

Question

I notice from time to time that I have blood on my paper when I don't feel any pain, I want to make sure that nothing is serious, thank you. Yes, it is clear that I feel that they are hard once in a while but very rarely to the point of being very painful Thank you!

Hello, Is it clear blood? If so, you may have a hemorrhoid or anal fissure. This is very common and not dangerous. It may be a sign that your stool is too hard. Is this the case? Okay, You could try taking docusate sodium 100mg 2 capsules at bedtime or lax-a-day 17 grams once a day or every other day if needed, to soften the stool and see if that would help. Anyway, these sporadic bleeding without any other symptoms are mostly benign. Enjoy!
