Yes you should: You must see your doctor , any bleeding per rectum has to be considered as malignant till proven other wise by tests, even if it looks like hemorrhoids, march is colorectal cancer prevention month and you must see your doctor.

Yes: Assuming the pattern hasn't changed it is probably not serious, however since you are used to the bleeding, you would not be alerted to another more serious cause of bleeding. So, yes, you should be checked and have more serious sources of bleeding eliminated or diagnosed, usually by colonoscopy at the least.
