Always Your Call: Hemorrhoids are simply dilated veins around the anal opening. Bleeding can appear dramatic, yet amount of blood loss typically low. Best deal with constipation, disimpact using well lubricated finger, slowly (no one else can feel as well or be as safe for you). Consider enema (water, saline, soap suds, fleets, etc), stool softener from above, walk a lot (really helps) & change foods & ↑↑ activity.

A 42-year-old female asked:
Could painless bright red bleeding per rectum without constipation be from hemorrhoid anyway? How much bleeding, how frequently, and for how long would be cause for concern for someone with known hemorrhoid and a distant history of rectal cancer?

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?
