A member asked:

I was doing a whole lot of heavy lifting today and when i was taking a shower.i bled from my rectum (not alot) could this be because of a strain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BRBPR: This may just be hemorrhoids from straining but bleeding from rectum (BRBPR) may also indicate anal fissures, proctitis (due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, stercoral ulcers, rectal prolapse, trauma, etc.) or a bleeding source further upstream. Depending on your age, risk factors, current medication (aspirin, NSAIDs, anticoagulants can cause bleeding), see your doctor.
