Hello,
With the provided details it seems like you are having GI bleed. I would suggest you to monitor your hemoglobin level and consider for immediate medical attention if you feel dizzy or have larger amount of bleeding per rectum. Kindly consider for endoscopic examination for diagnosis and to rule out the causes such as inflammatory bowel disease.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sajal Singh, General & Family Physician
