A member asked:

For 6 months i've had mild rectal bleeding maybe 1 or 2 times a month. bright red on tp after bm. do hemorrhoids act up this frequently?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Hemorrhoids can flare up intermittent especially if you are constipated. Consider increasing your fluids, add fiber, add a stool softener like colace (docusate sodium) , or use Mira-lax to maintain softer stools. Get evaluated as well. The assumption is hemorrhoids, but rectal bleeding can have more ominous causes as well.
