What Causes Intermittent Rectal Bleeding?

Anal fissure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Your symptoms are suggestive of anal fissure.
You will get benefited by taking sitz bath, high fiber diet, fiber supplements like metamucil, lot of fluids, stool softener and topical diltiact/nifedipine.
Fissure can cause bleeding as in your case. It is usually a milder form of bleeding.
Anemia due to fissure is less common as it takes months of this milder bleed to cause anemia. But because of the symptoms individuals get treated well before they become anemic.
You were not anemic in JULY. And it is less likely that you would have become anemic in 2 months time now.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
