Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
This could be very serious. He could have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis) or worse yet, cancer of the colon. While in most cases this is related to hemorrhoids if the bleeding is bright red, he certainly should not ignore these symptoms!
I hope that this helps and good luck!
