How To Treat Constipation And Blood In Stool?

I have been constipated the last 3 days, I have had bowel movements but I have noticed at first a small amount of blood but today was more painful and more blood. I am 23 and just thought I should check if it serious or not and what should I eat to relieve the constipation.
