Get medical check up: Rectal bleeding is caused either by Cancer or Hemorrohids. You should go see your doctor for an examination so that you can find the cause. cancer can occur in anyone of us....family history of no Cancer does not help as 90% of people who develop Cancer do not have family history of cancer. So you need to be careful and get a good medical exam.
