Rectal bleeding: Rectal bleeding could be caused by hemorrhoids but other diseases could cause bleeding such as cancer, polyps, fistulas, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. the best thing you can do is to visit a physician near you and get checked up. Be well.

Hemorrhoids: A proctologist or colon-rectal surgeon is best qualified to evaluate and treat this problem of continued hemorrhoidal bleeding. They may need banding if they are internal hemorrhoids. Nevertheless you need to be diagnosed properly. Persistent bleeding leads to anemia and iron deficiency.
