My 6 year old nephew bleeds quite alot when he has a poo any ideas what this could be?

Could it be piles or is he to young to have them?

anal fissure? does he complain of pain when he goes?

Is it red blood or dark? Is it blood in the poo or on the poo?

whatever it is, he should see a doctor

sounds like it could be a tear, maybe. I'm not a doctor but I have had this problem, but I'm not trying to diagnose, I'm just saying what occurred to me.

In any case, like HCPP says, he should see a doctor. best to check out bleeding.
