The past few days whenever I've gone to the bathroom, there's been a lot of blood. THe first ttime it really scared me because it was just so much blood (more than when I have my period) I called the dr on call and he said that they're probably internal hemroids and not to worry. I haven't gone to the dr, but I'm wondering if I should.. what can be done?

blood in the toilet, stool, or toilet paper? Do not let a doctor diagnose you over the phone. You could possibly get a colonoscopy to see what's going on inside.

it was in/on eveything. The stool was streaked with blood, the toilet bowl was full of blood and there was a lot of blood on the toilet paper.

That sounds really scary. You really shouldn't listen to what he said over the phone. He can't really give a proper diagnosis over the phone. Get that checked out ASAP

Yeah... I think I'll call my dr if it persists. I went to the bathroom today and there was no blood... so who knows?
