Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your symptoms, You have rectal bleeding & can be due to mainly two reasons Hemorrhoids( piles) & Anal fistulas
Most common cause of hemorrhoids & fistulas is constipation, hard stool passage, excessive straining during defecation,etc. Staining during defecation should be decreased
As constipation is there fibers in diet should be increased.Taking fiber supplements, such as psyllium or methylcellulose, with fluids may help control constipation. Water intake should also be increased. Laxatives can also be used.
If problem persists, you should visit a Gastroenterologist

Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved
