Hi Holly
Its very difficult to know what the cause was. The positive thing (if there is a positive thing) is that the bleeding was bright red which suggests fresh blood which could be caused by a pile or fissure. I had rectal bleeding suddenly about 18 months ago and had some investigation but it turned out that they could find no cause and it stopped itself.
Having said that, rectal bleeding can indicate more serious concerns. If it was me I would wait and see if it happened again and if so make an immediate appointment to see your GP. Even if it doesnt happen again I would be sure to mention it to him at your next visit anyway.
Check your stools the next time and see if they are black in colour. If so let your doctor know immediately as it is a side effect of steroids which you are advised to seek prompt attention for.
Let us know how you are
Luv n stuff
