Looking at the rectal bleeding is it possible to identify its source?

It may not be possible; bleeding from hemorrhoids and anal fissures is usually bright red, while that from colorectal cancers is occult (hidden). But rectal bleeding of any amount is never normal and should not be ignored, as some causes of rectal bleeding such as colon cancer are more serious than others. So consult your doctor and get the bleeding properly checked out.
