Bleeding when I poop(MALE)

[saritom]

My step Dad experience heat exhaustion 3 days ago and ever since when he poops he bleeds. Is this connected and should he go to the ER right away?

hello, i also strongly suspect hemorrhoids, but please seek a doctor because hemorrhoids is not the only thing which causes bleeding, it might be some ulcers, or something else.
tc hope he gets well..:)

Could be hemerroids ..you can get meds OTC to help with this or a doctor can prescribe ..

Rectal bleeding is not normal and should always be medically investigated.  If the volume of blood is large (I would say 100 ml+) then maybe better to seek urgent medical advice.  If the volume of blood is a few drops then not so urgent but still essential to get advice and diagnosis.  Google rectal bleeding to find out more - the Medicinenet is particularly informative.

If the diagnosis is inconclusive then maybe request a colonoscopy.
