9 yr old- blood on toilet paper

[LovelyBath]

Wondering if should mention this to the GP, as he says it has happened several times over the last few weeks. Does anyone know what it could be? Am terrified as DH has crohn's

Probably piles from pushing to hard.

It could be that she'll be starting her period soon, or it could be a urine infection maybe?

My friend thought she'd started her period when she was a kid, but it turned out to be a water infection.

Take him to the GP if you're not sure but likely to be a fissure (small tear). Is it fresh blood? Plenty of fluids to keep the stools soft.

Thanks for your advice. I'll keep an eye on it, sorry forgot to mention he is a boy! He's hate any form of exam but maybe will go to GP to ask advice too x

You did say he in your first post op.

Take him to GP
