Seeing blood in the toilet, on the outside of your stool, or with wiping after a bowel movement is common.Fortunately, most of the causes of such rectal bleeding are not life-threatening; common causes include hemorrhoids and anal fissures. However, the only way to be certain of the cause is to be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
