No: You can't know if your internal hemorrhoids are the source of blood because you can't see them, so bleeding is always serious. If it's more than a few drops then get checked right away. If it's a few drops it can wait, but not long if there's pain, constipation, or diarrhea

Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are associated with hard stools, straining and some circulatory problems. Strawberry seeds will not cause hemorrhoids, but increased water intake and dietary fiber may be helpful if chronic constipation and straining are making the hemorrhoids worse. If bleeding continues, be sure to get checked out by your doctor.
