Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Most probably you should be suffering from Hemorrhoids and / or anal fissure. It is pertinent to examine the area with anoscope or sigmoidoscope. It hints if it is severe degree of hemorrhoids and also helps to note if there are internal hemorrhoids that can actually mimic normal stools in spite of losing heavy blood. So you may have blood loss anemia accompanied with Iron deficiency as well.

So get Hemogram, urine routine and visit a General surgeon for examination. Till then you can use ANOVATE cream five times a day. Please note that if you neglect the examination you may end up losing more blood and strictures as well.

Thank you. Pl let me know if you have any clarifications.
