Rectal bleeding is the most common sign of
internal hemorrhoids. Other causes of
bleeding during bowel movements might be:
anal fissures, colon polyps, inflammatory
bowel disease. You can consult your
primary health care doctor for advice and
diagnostic examinations to determine the
cause of bleeding during bowel movements.
