- Colon polyps or colon cancer
- Diverticulosis (abnormal pouches in the colon)
- Hemorrhoids (common cause)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Intestinal infection (such as bacterial enterocolitis)
- Small bowel tumor
- Trauma or foreign body
- Vascular malformation (abnormal collections of blood vessels called arteriovenous malformations or AVMs)
