Yes: Hemorrhoids bleed to various degree. People on blood thinners or anti platelet issues more common. Having some bloody mucus with or without clots is not unheard of.

Today I had bright red blood wrapped over my stool, looked like clots/red mucus. I went to the ER but found nothing from rectal exam. They referred me to a gastroenterologist if it persisted. Does this type of bleeding sound like hemorrhoids?
