Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

You : You need to see your doctor to find out the source of the bleeding. It could be an internal or external hemmhroid or it could be a more significant cause. If it is bright red blood it is likely from the lower gastrointestinal tract. If you have black, tarry, malodorous stools that could be coming from higher up.
