A member asked:

I can't get rid of my hemorrhoids/fissure and i'm starting to produce large amounts of blood. i'm concerned with the severity of this blood loss..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is unusual: that hemorrhoid bleeding can cause anemia or shock. But it is possible. If bleeding is significant, you should see a doctor to look for other causes of rectal bleeding. Rectal bleeding is abnormal.
