Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have spotting after bowel movement . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like piles (haemorrhoids) , anal fissure , anal fistula , angiodysplasia , gastroenteritis , diverticula , bowel cancer or anticoagulant drugs . I would uggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order tests like stool test , blood test and physically examination . Doctor may also order ultrasound ot CT scan . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , antibiotics , laxative to loosen the stool and may recommend surgery on case of piles . For now sit on warm water tub for 15 minutes daily , eat more fibrous food and avoid spicy food .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
