Brief Answer:
Haemorrhoids can cause lot of bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Haemorrhoids can cause lot of bleeding.
Clinical examination and Proctoscopy can confirm the diagnosis.
If the bleeding is heavy,I advise COLONOSCOPY to my patients.In some,polyps,adenomas , malignancy etc can cause bleeding.If polyp is present,it can be removed by COLONOSCOPY and send for Histopathological examination (Biopsy). Biopsy can be taken from a growth.
Surgical Gastroenterologist should be consulted.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
