I am most concerned about colon or colorectal cancer.  I have had friends with colon cancer and that problem can be easily taken care of if detected early enough.  Don't delay any more because this could cost you your life.

A specialist in this field is called a "colorectal surgeon".

Any Doctor and don't walk there run. Heavy bleeding from the rectum can be extremely dangerous.

Good Luck!

You must see a Doctor as soon as possible you might have a hemorridge bleed and there no pain with that but you must consult your Doctor asap please As we are not Doctors on this site and we can only advise good luck

THE PROBLEM could be as simple as hemmoroids or as serious as cancer.  Like all of our friends before me have urged, get to a doctor as soon as possible.  A general practioner can refer you (or whoever) to a specialist as well as run a few quick tests that provide valuable information in the office during the visit.

Good job daren1, I kept trying to think of the specialty name. TU

If you don't have a personal physician, for heavens sake....PLEASE, get yourself to an emergency room as soon as possible.....hope everything turns out well for you!

Wow! Some of these answers are soooo 'Doom and Gloom'... First off, we are not doctors here but the simple answer is --> what color is this blood? If it's bright red, you probably just have hemorrhoids-- They are not necessarily life-threatening but can make life miserable if allowed to grow larger, they are blood vessels.  If your blood is a dark 'maroon' color, this means that the bleeding is coming from further up your digestive system. Then--> yes! get to a doctor right away.

If you have the red blood, you should start on metamucil powder, not capsules, and take a 'stitz' bath..   If your 'hems' get to a point where you get pain and or itching, then have it taken care of, there's nothing to it.. Not painful at all to have them removed.

Good point Vinny. yvonne57

it could be a hundred different things, from mild to severe problem. You need medical treatment ASAP! Try Internal Medicine doctor. You need more than a GP.

See an Emergency Room Physician now!!!! you will be referred to the best physician there. A gastro doc will know everyone to call in.

see your own doctor asap,he will refer you to a specialist,good luck

With rectal bleeding ask yourself: 1. Since when, 2. what color (bright red could be hemorrhoids, dark red or coffee colored is higher up in the system. Either way, this warrants seeing an MD or DC for eval.   Check the consistency of your Bowel movement, and perhaps get some prunes so soften the "production".   Hard stool and straining can cause hemorroids. Prunes will help here naturallhy and give some food benefits. Good luck.

You could actually be hemmorhaging.  For that, you should be in the E R . At least then, they could give you some blood.

You should actually go to the E R.  But on 2nd thought, they'll prob just send  you home and tell  you to see a   gastroenterologist
