Is The Bleeding From The Rectum Related To Hemorrhoids?
I went to bathroom to urinate and started bleeding from rectum. I have been having diarrhea this week but it stopped yesterday. Would new blood come from hemoroids? It stopped after I applied pressure with toilet paper a few times. I have celiac disease and have constipation problems but have never had bleeding???

Hello,
Yes, painless rectal bleeding with a bowel movement is a common symptom of hemorrhoids. Bright red blood typically coats the stool or blood may drip into the toilet or stain toilet paper.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
