Brief Answer:
Go for colonoscopy and protocscopic examination of rectum.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for asking query on HealthcareMagic.
Have gone through your details dear,


There are a few things to consider when a person says he has blood in the stool.


Generally, blood coming from higher levels (stomach and small bowel) converts into a dark coal black colour due to the changes the blood has in the bowel. It is the bleeding from lower parts (colon) that will show as bright red blood.So your case is blood coming from lower part of gut.
I Have you ever had a colonoscopy done?
Initially go for a Proctoscopic examination of your rectal canal by a MD to look for hemorrhoid anal fissure etc(most common pathology) and if required a colonoscopy should be done after that. .

So contact your MD and go for examination of reactal canal.Very likely they sounds like hemorrhoids but only test will prove it.Treatment would be given as per pathology.
As off now take a stool softener like lactulose 15 ml(over the counter) to prevent bleed.

If you had any massive rectal bleeding than an urgent visit to a doctor is needed.

I hope this is helpful and answers your questions but please feel free to reply in case any more clarification is needed on this.
