A friend of mine did surgery to remove fistula from her rectum and after this surgery it just keep bleeding isn't this dangerous?

Bleeding: All bleeding comes to an end at some point. But your friend likely doesn't want to wait that long, and it could be dangerous over time. The body needs blood for several important functions. If the bleeding truly doesn't stop, she should call her surgeon tonight. It might take a little cautery to stop the bleeding.
