Bright red blood originates from near the outlet. It reflects tissue injury near the outlet. Blood from higher up would be darker, red to maroon or black due to enzyme action & more worrisome. As long as you body replaces the blood lost you can do well. For long term management see a proctologist who can fix your hemorrhoids.

Bleeding from hemorrhoids can make a person anemic. You should consult a different doctor, preferably a surgeon who can treat the hemorrhoids. Wish you good health!

Today I had bright red blood wrapped over my stool, looked like clots/red mucus. I went to the ER but found nothing from rectal exam. They referred me to a gastroenterologist if it persisted. Does this type of bleeding sound like hemorrhoids?
