What Does Rectal Bleeding During A Bowel Movement Indicate?
Rectal bleeding when having a bowel movement. Bright red color and quite a bit. Has been going on daily for a few weeks. Avid bicyclist, just finished a two day 150 mile ride. Also, have been doing cross fit classes three times a week for the last four weeks. Have had minor hemorrhoid so in the past, but not with this much bleeding. Thoughts?
