How much bleeding can hemorrhoids cause?

Awkward question time.

Was attributing some bleeding to hemorrhoids due to having some of the classic symptoms but now I’m not sure. I’m bleeding an awful lot. Can that happen with hemorrhoids, or is it just little streaks of blood like I’ve been reading? I’m scared there might be something wrong with my new plumbing.

Obviously I’m going to talk to my doctor so you don’t need to tell me to.
