I just had my tonsil out on the 2nd is it normal for me to bleed when I poop?

If there is bright red blood in/on your poop, that means fresh blood and it is coming from very near the rectum. Like a broken blood vessel in your rectum from straining.

If there is blood going down your throat, it would appear very dark, n ot red, by the time it comes out in poop.

Why not call your surgeon?

I don't know if it has anything to do with this but I had my tonsil taken out the 2 and since then when I poop its fine in tell I wipe and there blood. I don't think my throat is bleeding because I would have thought I would know. Any ideas

Shorty, having your tonsils out has nothing to do with having a bowel movement and finding blood unless you have hemorroids.

Is it bright red blood or a very dark blood. Either of these means different areas of bleeding. And no, having your tonsils out has nothing to do with bleeding from your rectum.
