Brief Answer:
Hello need not worry

Detailed Answer:
hi
welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns
well does not look much to worry about.
Likely some undigested food particle, fruits or vegetable may look like red seeds in stools.
But to be sure worthwhile getting stool occult blood examined for three samples which will confirm if it is blood.
If reports are negative then nothing more needs to be done however if it is positive then can think of undergoing an colonoscopy just to clarify the cause.
So do not worry.
Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
HAppy to help.

I had the three stool samples three days ago, and the result came negative for all of them.
