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.

Hi doctors. I had a colonoscopy which only showed internal hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. My Dr. said that I am good for five years..I get occasional bit of blood in anus, not on stool, is this hemorrhoid? Can I assume? Could it still be serious?

I have red blood on my toilet paper every time I wipe. I had an internal hemorrhoid diagnosed. Would this make it bleed every time I wipe?

I am experiencing leaking stool and bloody stool. The blood is brownish red. Not like when I have a hemorrhoid. I just had a bout of diverticulitis.
