A member asked:
Is it possible that there may be internal hemorrhoids that cause bleed during defecation?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Hemorhhoids can ceratainly cause bleeding during defecation. But many other things cause rectal bleeding, as well. Some are serious (like colorectal/anal cancer) and benefit from early diagnosis. Others, like anal fissure, are not so serious, but benefit from treatment. See your doctor - don't self diagnose!
