Bleeding from your rectum is a scary symptom. It is even more worrying and embarrassing when the bleeding is accompanied by itching, mucus discharge and burning pain in the anus.
If you experience these symptoms, it is likely that you are suffering from piles, medically known as haemorrhoids, which are pillow-like clusters of veins that are just beneath the mucous membranes lining the lowest part of the rectum and anus.
