internal bleeding:
could be fresh red blood or dark to black in color, depends if the source of the bleeding is away from the rectum (stomach, small intestine, etc) so it takes time to reach the rectum and it gets digested by the acid of the stomach and gets clotted.
if it is from hemorrhoids, it would be painless, fresh blood, with and/or after defecation..
you need to provide more detailed history of the problem, onset, with or without pain, other symptoms (drowsiness, loss of weight, appetite..etc)
your age, smoker or not, history is very important to diagnose your case, se seeing your doctor is important, it could be as simple as hemorrhoid or as serious as malignancy..
Easy, you go to your Doctor and ask.
Internal bleeding is a heavy, thick discharge whereas hemorrhoid bleeding is more like a small cut. Hope this helps!
Do you have hemorroids? If you do, the chances are that that is the problem. Have you been injured lately that may have caused internal bleeding? Significant health issues? Your age?
uu wulddd bleed alot if iht was internal bleedinn .
Depending on where the internal lesion is, the bleed might be darker brown-black in color.It will be constant. Often, there might be other symptoms, like diarrhea or cramping.
Hemmorrhoids often cause a little bright red blood, after passing a stool or when wiping.
If you are bleeding a lot or are worried, see a doctor.
Note; people laugh about hemmorrhoids, but I've seen patients who needed 4-5 transfusions from them bursting, I work in th ER…
EDIT; sounds like it could be hemmorroids or an anal fissure, but with coumadin, it would be safer to see a doctor to have your blood levels monitored, in case your blood is too thin. I wouldn't rush directly to the ER, but maybe a walk-in clinic, better safe than sorry.
Any bleeding or pain coming from the anus should be checked by a professional to rule out more serious conditions.
Bleeding and/or pain from the anal channel does not only relate to hemorrhoids or piles it can also be caused by much more serious conditions such as cancer or polyps (small growths in the anal channel).
Medical professionals can do an examination of the rectum through a tube. The procedure is known as proctoscopy and is absolutely necessary to rule out cancer or polyps.

internal hemorrhoids are what will cause the blood to show up. However your internal bleeding may be due to the coumadin intake in your system. How much coumadin do you take? Coumadin is an anti-quagulant so it its important not to mix this with anything such as excess alcohol which will thin your blood as well. If you do not balance this out with something to thicken blood such as spinach, then nose bleeds and even internal bleeding can take place.
