It : It sounds like this has been going on for a while, and that is concerning. Rectal bleeding must always be taken seriously. You most likely will need a scope to evaluate the cause of your bleeding. While it could be a hemorrhoid or anal fissure, it is important that you seek medical evaluation for your persistent rectal bleeding. If you have an increase in bleeding, vomiting, abdominal pain, feel light-headed or faint, then you must be seen immediately.

This : This certainly sounds like hemorrhoids, or possibly an anal fissure (a split in the skin surrounding your anus). Hemorrhoid creams, applied both internally -- using the applicator included with the product -- and externally can help, but it's also important to soften your stools to allow them to pass easily. If you're not already doing so, make sure you're getting 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables and 2 quarts of fluids daily. Take supplemental fiber twice daily (gradually work up to a couple of tablespoons of metamucil, citrucel, fibercon, or bran in the morning and evening). Make exercise a regular part of your routine; it keeps your bowel healthy. Now, if your rectal bleeding persists (or if you notice blood mixed with your stool rather than just being on the surface) see your doctor. Good luck!
