 [ Symptoms ] why would my rectum be bleeding its been bleeding fo ab a mounth ive seen my fam doctor and she has assigned me a dr but its bleeding more i have pain and burning in my side and stomhic and rutcem and the cream they gave me does not work what should i do [ Disease ] it is odd that your doctor can not tell why you are bleeding at this point you should probably get a colonoscopy   if you have insurance it might even be free if they gave you a cream they probably thought it was a hemorrhoid it could also be an anal fissure farther in or it could be a polyp it could also be diverticulosis or diverticulitis which is what happens when your large intestines develop little pouches in the side and sometimes they bleed my dad nearly bled to death when one of those let go but luckily they are also very treatable he is fine by the way a colonoscopy is going to be able to tell you a lot more they do not make you go through it while fully awake so it is not even all that uncomfortable
