Rectal blood: Rectal bleeding is abnormal and must be investigated. Possibilities include hemorrhoids, anal fissure, diverticulosis, inflammatory bowel disease or a growth in the colon or rectum. At your age, in the absence of diarrhea, I favor a benign condition like hemorrhoids. Nevertheless see your physician, gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon for evaluation.
