Dr. Ravinder Nagpaul answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

See your MD: Any rectal bleed should not be taken lightly. It can be as simple hemorrhoids or a sign of a serious condition. You should be seen by your Doctor and have a detailed thorough examination and work up should be done based on the findings of the examination. So if you have bleeding from rectum see your Doctor.
