What Causes Rectal Bleeding?

Hi, for the past two days I ve been using the bathroom, and when I wipe there s blood on the tissue, but there s no blood in my urine. Also I wore a pad to see if it was my period, but nothing goes on the pad. I m supposed to get my period tomorrow. Also I don t know if this helps, but the last time I had sex was two days ago.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of having bleeding per anus but no blood on wiping after urination or on the sanitary pad. Periods are likely to come tomorrow and
has sex before 2 days.
This indicates that you have bleeding per rectum only and the causes can be most probably bleeding hemorrhoids as you have not mentioned any pain or so.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Sitz bath.
Laxative if there is hard stool or constipation.
Consult a General Surgeon for per-rectal digital examination, ano-proctoscopy, colonoscopy.
This way you will get a proper diagnosis and a plan for proper further treatment.
I find this answer helpful
