A member asked:

Can hot salsa cause rectal bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: A particular food does not cause rectal bleeding. Hemorrhoids are the most common cause. Other causes are infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcer or cancers. Rectal bleeding should not be ignored. It is important to see a physician and have it evaluated.
