Rectal bleeding: Is not normal. Yes, it could be coming from your hemorrhoids. Have you had a prior colonoscopy evaluation? See your family doctor for a new evaluation too.

I occasionally find blood on toilet paper after having a bowl movement. Its not a lot, just enough to notice. Could this be any more than a hemorrhoid?
