bleeding hemorrhoids diarrhea

Bleeding .. is it hemorrhoids???

I’ve noticed that after a bowel movement, when I wipe, there’s a little blood there. It’s bright red. I’ve had this a few times in the past, and I dismissed it as hemorrhoids or just irritation from constipation, diarrhea, etc. Should I be concerned? There’s no pain at all. My digestion and “habits” are all the same. I’m only 29 years old. Any thoughts?
Thanks for all the answers so quickly! You all have said everything from “don’t worry, it’s nothing” to “call your doctor right now”. I do not have constant constipation or diarrhea, I was only saying that this seems to occur during those times, which leads me to think it’s hemorrhoidal. I DO have a digestive disorder (post cholecystectomy syndrome), but that doesn’t cause rectal bleeding; however, it can make diahrrea more frequent. Thanks again to all. From what I’ve read, this is 99.9% likely just ‘roids’ and unless it doesn’t go away, I won’t panic.

yup, bright red blood is hemmorhoids. You might want to consider some hydrocortizone suppositories for a day or two, or at least take some docusate gel caps to soften the stool so those hemmorhoids can calm down.
