On and off bright red painless rectal bleeding for two years. it is usually a good bit but now it is more regular as a small bit on toilet paper?

Rectal bleeding: Many things can cause this but most commonly they are hemorrhoids, but you must rule out colorectal cancer. You should seek a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist.
