Haematochezia is no joke. It can mean a plethora of things, most of which are very serious. Haemorrhoids and diverticulosis are the most benign things which can cause it. Serious conditions such as colon cancer can also cause it. In newborns, it can be caused by ingesting blood during delivery. However, such bleeding in newborn can also be caused by necrotizing enterocolitis, which means part of their colon is dying. In babies, intussusception can be a cause. That is when the colon prolapses, or collapses over itself. In teens and young adults, inflammatory bowel disease, and particularly ulcerative colitis, are possible causes.

At any rate, unless you know that hemorrhoids or diverticulosis are the causes, then you should get medical attention as soon as possible.
