Hemorrhoids?: Hemorrhoids can produce bright red blood during a bowel movement. These may be internal or external. They should be diagnosed by a physician if they have not been previously. Treatment can be via topical medication or they may require surgery.

See a doctor: Any hemorrhoid bleeding should be evaluated by a physician. There are a lot of causes for bleeding besides hemorrhoids. Don't ignore bleeding.
