A member asked:

If theres a little bit of bleeding from the rectum, but not in the feces, should i get it checked?

Yes: Bleeding from the rectum should always be followed up and you should ask your doctor what the next best step is. It may be something as simple as a hemorrhoid, but your doctor will want to make sure it isn't anything worse.

Too many things to: Go into here except to say this is not normal and should be evaluated by a colon rectal surgeon promptly. May just be hemorrhoids, colitis, polyps, tumors benign or malignant. I don't know your age or medical history but regardless please see a specialist sooner rather than later.
