Definitely,,,: Bleeding from the rectum that recurs may indicate hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctitis (due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, stercoral ulcers, rectal prolapse, trauma, etc.) or bleeding source further upstream.The bumps may be a separate issue. Depending on your age, risk factors, current medication (aspirin, nsaid's, anticoagulants can cause bleeding), get evaluated.

Yes: A common reason for bright red blood would be hemorrhoids. Perhaps the gyn could not appreciate any externally, but you could have internal hemorrhoids which can be diagnosed through a GI doctor.
