Dear XXXXXXX
You probably might have a condition called Hematochezia. It refers to passage of XXXXXXX bright red blood through anus. The most common cause for this is Hemorrhoids, also called Piles. They are small-dilated blood vessels in the anal canal, which rupture and bleed during passing stools.
Your pain in the right upper abdomen could also suggest involvement of the ascending colon, i.e., large intestine.
Alcohol can precipitate the bleeding in piles.
You should consult a surgeon who would examine you from below (Per Rectal Examination) and will be able to tell whether you have piles or not.
If it is clear below, you will have to undergo Colonoscopy and Upper GI Endoscopy to rule out other causes.
Please consult your doctor and it is important to get it evaluated.
Do get back if you need any further information.
Sincerely,
Dr Kiran
