What Causes Blood In Stool?

I have for the last 3 days bright red blodd in my stool. I am 62 120 lbs 5'2" with a history of hemorrhoids during my last colonoscopy 2008 I was constipated last week. I had a sharp pain around my left ovary but had an ultrasound with my gynecologist a few days ago but no problem there.

Blood in stool can be caused by hemorrhoids, but if you are over 50, you should have another colonoscopy to rule out something scarier, like GI cancer.
