Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids and abnormality in blood coagulation to be considered

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.

It is possible that you may have developed hemorrhoids. If it's a single episode, please be vigilant.
If it recurs it would be good to see a proctologist / surgeon and have yourself re-examined. Also liver function tests and coagulation studies may be required.

Do get back to me if you have further questions.
Kind regards
