What is the difference between a rectal polyp and internal haemorrhoid with blood in the stool?

Rectal polyps mainly present as blood in the stool, often with bright red blood attached to the surface of the stool by the naked eye, and can be accompanied by increased frequency of stools and mucus and blood in the stool.
The colour of internal haemorrhoids blood in stool is usually bright red. Bleeding from internal haemorrhoids can be manifested as rubbing blood after stool, dripping blood after stool and stopping on its own after stool. Bleeding from internal haemorrhoids is usually intermittent and is often triggered by dry faeces, fatigue, alcohol consumption and spicy and irritating food. The differential diagnosis can be helped by rectal finger examination and proctoscopy, and rectal polyps can be clearly diagnosed by taking tissue for pathological examination under direct vision through proctoscopy.
