What to do if i have rectal bleeding triggered by stress?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Rectal bleeding is not cause by stress. You should be evaluated by your doctor or surgeon to find out what is the cause of the bleeding. The most common way to find out source of bleeding are rectal examination, anoscopy and colonoscopy.
