Rectal bleeding: Common sources for rectal bleeding include hemorrhoids, but other causes can be the following: anal fissure, proctitis, cancer, diverticulosis, constipation, angiodysplasia. Hemorrhoids typically will resolve with increasing fiber in the diet and doing things to not get constipated. If your bleeding persists best to be seen and get a rectal exam.

Had a hard stool and a known exterior hemorrhoid. Wiped and there was a streak of blood. Stools since have been fine with no blood. My doctor indicated to not worry as this might be from straining, which I was doing. Still scared?

Have had hemorrhoid for years. Rarely bleeds. Tonight after a hard stool it bled. Is that dangerous--losing blood too quickly?
