Rectal bleeding is the loss of blood from the anus. This is a symptom of many conditions like hemorrhoids, constipation, anal fissures, or inflammatory bowel disease. The bleeding stops once the underlying condition is treated, but in some cases, excessive bleeding can lead to signs of anemia or weakness. Therefore rectal bleeding should not be ignored, and the patient should seek immediate medical help.
