Is it bright red or dark (sort of blackish)? would be the first question one should ask to determine if the bleeding it upper or lower GI.

Bright red = hemorrhoids
Dark black/brown = colorectal cancer

So, bright red blood indicates a lower GI problem (black would indicate upper because the blood would have time to get broken down in stomach acid, etc, etc and turn black). Your options are still many including IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) like Crohn's  or UC, ruptured internal hemorroids (could be external, but those are painful and u should've noticed), or some of the enteric bacteria (one shouldn't forget the worms either), there are still others on my ddx, but let's stop there for now.

tl;dr... next question is are you... constipated, have diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain?
