Why is there just a little blood when I wipe?
If you see a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper after wiping, on the outside of your stool, or in the toilet, this may be caused by hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. Both conditions are quite harmless, and there are treatments that can help (often as easy as applying a cream) (Huizen, 2020).
What does it mean when you wipe yourself and see blood but no period?
Low estrogen levels may lead to pink discharge at different points on your cycle, not necessarily when you would expect a period. The hormone estrogen helps to stabilize the uterine lining. Without enough of it, the uterine lining may break down and shed irregularly, leading to spotting of a range of colors.
What color are hemorrhoids?
