I've been experiencing dark red bleeding when I go to the bathroom, but there's no pain, swelling, or itching. It's just the bleeding. What could this be? Should I be worried?

The presence of dark red blood during bowel movements, without pain, swelling, or itching, could indicate a hemorrhoid or a minor anal fissure. However, it's important to consult with a doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis to rule out other possible causes, such as diverticular disease or colorectal issues.
