Of course constipation is one of the causes of rectal bleeding , because a stocked stool can tear the anal and rectal vessels, veins or the hemorroids even when they are normal. You can try to alleviate your constipation with dietetic changes first, while begining with an antihemorroidal cream. If this keeps going like this then you can see a proctologist.
