more blood and mucus than usual. concerning.

so i’ve been occasionally having bloody poops which i’ve just brushed off as IBS. but this is new and really weird?

so iirc it started a couple days ago, i got this immediate need to shit. so i did, and most of it came out fine, but there was this piece at the end that wouldn’t come out? and when i wiped, there was the usual gross-smelling brownish mucus, except WAY more than usual, and a whole lot of blood.

haven’t pooped since, each time i try gives me the bloody mucus. i’m very concerned. i don’t even know where the blood is coming from (before you ask, it’s definitely NOT period blood.) nothing hurts or feels like it’s bleeding, so i’m a little worried about that. is this… normal?
