Rectal bleeding at 15 years old, anything to worry about?

hi there,
about 2 years ago, i went to toilet for bowel movement and there was blood in my stool
i am a 15 boy now. then like 3 months ago, i had a bit of blood on surface of stool and i bit on the tissue, bright red, for like 3 movements
then i just had another bowel movement and there was a bit of blood on the tissure
it is not frequent and not a lot of pain
i dont think it is anything seriuos but i need help
3 months ago when it happened, i took stool softners and put antiseptic skin cream around the area and it seemed to stop
i think it could just be fissures but not sure
please help me

sure sounds like hemmoroids, u need to see a dr to eliminate other possibilities and, if it is hemmoroids he can advise you. I am just now recovering from hemmoroidectomy, dont wait get help early.

Rectal bleeding is never normal and should always be investigated.  At your age the causes are likely to be minor - but do visit your doctor.

For more information typs in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo etc and click on to one of the many posts that elaborate on causes/symptoms/treatments etc
