    is it a lot or a little blood? does it hurt when you do your business? if it hurts, it's probably just too big for you. if there's a lot, you might have want to see your physician. it could be a number of things.

    You probably have hemorrhoids. I am assuming you see blood discharge but you don't have pain. Get it checked by a proctologist. Hemorrhoids are common. If they are big enough or in significant number then there is a laser procedure that can remove them. It's a set of few sessions and each session lasts a few minutes. It's relatively painless.
    If they are not hemorrhoids then your proctologist will recommend colonoscopy.

    How much blood? If it's only a little bit, you're probably fine. If it's like a huge red stain, it might or might not be something more serious - letting the doctor know never hurt anyone.
    Or it could just be the start of your period. ;)

    this may be a little detailed but if your stool is real hard when you go its normal, but if its soft and there is still blood or the stool itself is bloody (if its black that indicates blood) then see a doctor as this is a sign of internal bleeding!

    Get a colonscopy. Seriously. If you have pre-cancerous polyps, they can easily be removed at this stage.

    It could be internal hemmorhoids, but it's better safe to know for sure.

    I had a similar problem, and it was an intestinal virus. My doctor put me on a liquid diet for two weeks and not only did the virus go away, I lost 10 pounds. See a doctor, to be on the safe side.

    If it bleeds all the time, get it checked. But if it only hurts during the big loads, then I think it's just your hole being torn a little.

    It can just be caused by a small tear in the skin. If it only happens when passing big hard ones then this is probably all it is. They can take a while to heal because they tend to re-open when the skin stretches again.

    Keep the area clean and see a doctor if it continues too long.

    If it turns out it is just a tear you can avoid so many future problems by adjusting your diet so you do more soft poops and less "bricks"!

    You can be pretty Ill, if you bleed.
    Is it fresh (Red) or dried a little (Deep red/borwn/black).

    Bright red means a fresh problem close tot he rectum, whereas dried blood indicated a bigger problem deepe in your gastrointestinal system.

    Either way, you arent meant to poop blood, so get it checked out, mate!
