Rectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) can refer to any blood that passes from your anus, although rectal or anal bleeding is usually assumed to refer to bleeding from rectum or your colon. It may show up as blood in your stool, blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl. Blood caused by rectal bleeding from anus can range in color from bright red blood in stool to dark maroon to a dark tarry color.
