What Causes Blood Discharge From The Rectal Area?
i am a trucker i drive for at least 12 hours a day. Today I had blood come from my rectal area. I am a male. It was scary. It lasted for a minute or two and the blood ran down my leg. I have no pain and I continued to drive. i checked and now I am not bleeding. What could it have been?

Hi,
Detailed evaluation is required to make a diagnosis.
Most probably it will be due to small hemorrhoids.
You can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
