What Causes Severe Pain In Rectum Along With Rectal Bleeding?

I woke up with some serious on fire pain in my rectum this morning and now am seeing a little blood. I ve been putting vagasil on it and each time I do the pain is so intense I feel like I m going to get sick. I haven t been sexually active for years and don t have any STD s, I m 55 but have never had a colonoscopy. I did have a bowel movement today and on occasion can see a little blood with those but just figured it was due to internal hemorrhoids. Should I be worried?
