Bad news/Checkup req: Painless rectal bleeding is a serious condition which requires medical examination by your doctor. Do not delay as it can be due to cancer in some cases. Most often it is a benign condition but you can not tell till your lower GI tract has been checked with an Endoscopy.

See doctor: Although it is likely from a bleeding hemorrhoid, one cannot be sure that there may be something more serious. Since this has gone on for days without improving, it is time to get examined by your doctor
