However, persistent, worsening symptoms or symptoms that mimic other conditions can indicate serious hemorrhoids or other conditions.

- [Rectal Bleeding: How Doctors Rule Out Other Causes](https://www.usahemorrhoidcenters.com/blog/rectal-bleeding-how-doctors-rule-out-other-causes/): Seeing blood during or after a bowel movement can be alarming.
