So. Went to the bathroom about an hour or so ago, was a bit worried. It was a little too vague to tell, but I'm a good 90% certain there was blood in the stool. Talked to my mom, she says that I shouldn't worry too bad until it's a repeat occurance, but... what exactly could be causing this? Is there any chance of it being a one-time thing, or a minor problem...?

Yes, it could be a one time thing.

Blood can occur when you strain too hard and a little rip/irritation forms. Sometimes shit that is too hard/irregularly shaped can cause it as well.

It depends a lot on your bowel movements and the amount of fiber you're getting and so on, so forth.

But no, not a big deal unless there is a very significant amount of blood (like dripping from your anus) or there are several repeat performances.

Way to put the Men back into Menstruation!

...I once thought I was bleeding from my anus. Turns out I'd just pounded a ton of red koolade and it totally just died my poopies.

True story!

Dyed, btw, not died. I'm sure my excreta was host to plenty of life.
