What Is The Cause Of Bleeding From Anus After Diarrhea?
I had diarrhea for about five days, however, on day four i notice that my anus was bleeding. Each time I go to the bathroom for the past four days I notice some bright red blood on the tissue. It is not alot but i am concerned that it has gone on for so long. Can you explain what could be the cause?
