Hi,

The rectal bleeding could be due to large piles. For that you can get treated with surgery like hemorroidectomy. Anti-inflammatory drug also will give some help in pile. The vomiting of blood could be due to mesenteric ischemia as there was no blood flow according to history.

So I suggest you consult gastroenterologist for that detailed evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
