1. Bleeding happens when too much pressure is exerted on the anus. Usually, bleeding occurs during bowel movement where traces of blood are found in the stool. However, there are also other diseases and conditions that result to blood in stools and in such case, you cannot therefore conclude if you are indeed suffering from hemorrhoids as the bleeding may be caused by some other reason. In any case, once there is bleeding, the safest thing to do next is to consult a doctor who can best diagnose if you have hemorrhoids or not.
Another reason why you should consult a doctor immediately once there is bleeding is because of the discomfort and embarrassment that bleeding can bring you. When the anus or the lower body exerts a considerable amount of pressure, it bleeds. Thus the anus can bleed even while one is moving about in a public place.
