It is impossible to know if your rectal bleeding is coming from a cancer or a benign lesion without a proper evaluation. You do not list your age, but depending upon how old you are (and your family history), a proper work-up might include an anoscopic evaluation to rule-out hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, or it might require a full colonoscopy.

You should discuss these symptoms with your personal physician, and request a consultation with a GI specialist.
