What could be cause of pain and bleeding during bowel movement in a man?

In: Intestinal Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Many things can cause rectal bleeding during a bowel movement. Most common are hemorrhoids. Hard feces can make them bleed. Small fistula's in the rectum can also bleed as stool passes over them. The color of the blood is a major indicator of where the bleeding is taking place. Bright red blood is most often from the last part of the digestive system ie: anus,rectum. Brown or dark red blood often indicates bleeding higher up in the colon and black tarry stools mean the blood has partially digested in the stomach. Persistent bleeding requires emergency care and occasional bleeding should be discussed and examined at your next doctors appointment.
