Hello,

It may be internal haemorrhoids or polyps or ulcers or proctitis. Need to be confirmed by proctoscopy.

Take a soft diet, take plenty of oral fluids. if symptoms not improved get it done stool examination and colonoscopy.

Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
