![]() It's always a little unnerving to see blood when you use the toilet. Rectal bleeding can be a one-time thing, or it might happen every time you wipe. You might see just a few drops of blood on the toilet paper, or a larger amount from heavy rectal bleeding. Dark stools could be a sign of bleeding higher up in your GI tract. Dark red or maroon blood starts higher up in your colon or small intestine. Bright red blood is usually from the lower part of your colon. Looking at the color of the blood can tell you where it came from. Most of the time, bleeding down there isn't as scary as it looks. If you're bleeding from the rectum, you might see blood on the toilet paper when you wipe, or in the toilet bowl. The rectum is the bottom part of your intestine that connects to your anus.
