What should you do for copious rectal bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Rectal bleeding can be caused by hemorrhoids or more serious conditions such as polyps, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or even UGI sources. You need to see your doctor and have flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to determine the cause.
