Why do butts bleed?

Bleeding from the butt, or rectal bleeding, can occur for several reasons, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or more serious conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal area that can bleed during bowel movements. Anal fissures are small tears in the skin around the anus, often caused by passing hard stools. If someone experiences rectal bleeding, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
