What Causes Anal Bleeding Along With Nausea And Flatulence?
My friend just text me that he went to the bathroom and there was bright red blood in the toilet, no stool just lots of blood. No straining or hemmorhoids. Feeling very nauseas and bleeding when he farts (sorry about the term) Is this something he should go to the hospital to be checked out? I think it is, but I wasn t sure.

Hello and greetings
Rectal bleeding if not from hemorrhoids can be from intestinal bleeding which can be due to many reasons from severe ulcer to inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) or more severe it can be cancerous lesion.
Immediately, he should see an gastroenterologist and get colonoscopy done to diagnose the cause. Don't ignore.
Thanks
