What Does Rectal Bleeding Indicate?
I have been having bright red rectal bleeding for 8 days. Not a huge amount each day and only while on the toilet. I have never had hemorrhoids. Today though my blood pressure was high 178/80. I have an appointment with the proctologist in two weeks and the cardiologist that week as well.

Hello,
Hemorrhoids can cause hematochezia, but it needs to differentiate from cancer. For that relevant clinical history regarding weight loss, fever and other clinical examination necessary to be ruled out. Consult a general surgeon for your problem.
