  • If your stool is hard and you're seeing streaks of fresh, bright red blood on the TP, it's probably just anal tears.

    If you see a fair amount of blood in the water when you get up after shitting, you really should see a doctor.

    If you really don't want to do that or you can't afford it, try eating a lot more dietary fibre and making sure you're well-hydrated. Both of those things will help soften your stool, and that should make your bowel movements easier. You might also try figuring out a way to elevate your feet by six inches or so when you're on the throne. If you do that and lean forward, your body will be in a position where it's much easier to pass faeces, and that might reduce your discomfort.

    If you still see blood in your stool or the toilet water, and particularly if it's dark red or black, you really should see a doctor.
