Probably not. A small amount of bright red blood is usually nothing to be alarmed about. It most likely indicates hemorrhoids, and just a single drop of blood can turn the whole bowl red. Check with your doctor to be safe. You can detect microscopic levels of blood, which could signal something more serious, with an athomw test called Hemoccult. It's available at pharmacies. Don't worry; it's not as disgusting as it sounds. Just follow the directions on the label
