Confirm diagnosis: Hemorrhoids are common and commonly bleed. The most important thing is to see your doctor and have her/him confirm the bleeding is from hemorrhoids. Bleeding a little once in a while is usually ok..if it's not so much as to cause anemia. OTC creams, etc containing witch hazel or hydrocortisone may help. But ultimately a minor procedure such as rubber band ligation or injection may be needed.

See below: Generally if the bleeding is very heavy I advise patients to be evaluated by a physician asap as loss of too much blood is dangerous. For pain OTC products with 5% Lidocaine and hydrocortisone are available rectally. For detailed information on treatment see > http://wb.md/1Jj80zo
