internal hemroids

shnswms

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?

You need to see a doctor for a rectal exam. Preferably a general surgeon since a family doctor is limited on what he can not only see but determine. Rectal bleeding is never a normal sign and for this doctor to tell you not to worry is very wrong - expecially over the phone. Hopefully, your bleeding IS due to internal hemorrhoids but you still need a good exam and soon.

Is it possible to have internal hemroids at 23? I used to wear a thongs all the time, but have since switched back to normal underwear... could've that done it?

Yes, it is possible to have internal hemorrhoids at 23. No, they aren't due to your having worn thongs. You need to get this matter checked out.
