General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Nearing menopause might cause fatigue. But it does not lead to blood in stools. It might be due to piles or fissure-in-ano. Get yourself checked by a surgeon or proctologist. May be, due to blood loss, leading to decreased hemoglobin and anaemia, you might be experiencing fatigue.
So get evaluated and treated for bleeding in stools at the earliest.
