Rectal Bleeding

I am a 35 year old male who has for more than 20 years has bleeding from the rectom. It
has varied in severity, anything from a little bleeding to very heavy bleeding that almost
looks like a dark sludge and clots. I have also had hemoroids for just as long. Most times after
having a bowl movement I have to wait a while before being able to shower because if I showered
right away, my hemoroids would flair up and I would have days of discomfort. I assume this is not
cancerous since it has gone on for so long, but I have always
wondered what could be causing the bleeding. Like I said, there are times when the
toilet bowl is completely dark red and times when there is very little.
Thank you for your time.
