Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

I had seen your case and blood in stool might be changing of the life style which affect the digestive system also.

Blood in stool might be due to-

Constipation

hemorrhoid

Dysentery if having mucus in stool with blood.

Anal fissure

colon cancer

Rectal soreness.

So go through the proper investigation like sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy and consult to your near by surgeon.

Meanwhile take proper healthy and fibrous diet.

I will be glad to answer the further any query.

take care.
