Brief Answer:
Hello. This is probably a hemorrhoid problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi. The most likely problem here are bleeding hemorrhoids and that bleeding usually stops fairly quickly.

That said, since I can't examine you, you need to see a doctor to see if that's really the case or if the bleeding is higher up in your colon.

Please let me know if you need any more information
