Specializes in General Practice

Bloody Mucous: Yes, but it often represents something worse, an anal fistula. The symptoms alone mean that you need to see a specialist who can examine the entire rectum and make sure this situation is fully evaluated and the proper treatment started.

Hemorrhoid bleeding: Presents as blood streaked stools, or as you have said, separate from the stool. If you are having problems with pains and bloating, you should see your primary physician for a detailed history and evaluation.
