Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Anti-tuberculosis treatment may lead to gastric discomfort, but usually do not lead to passing blood in the stool. It seems that you have got constipation amd there is a possibility of hemorrhoids. Get yourself examined by general surgeon. You may get relief by stool softening agent , can try isapgol husk too.
Best wishes
