Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Bleeding from the anus, or rectal bleeding, is a very common symptom. Up to 15% of adults have seen blood on their toilet paper.
As a general rule, bright red blood means that the bleeding has come from the area around the anus. If the blood is darker, it usually means that its origin is a bleed higher up the digestive tract.
Bleeding can be due to following reasons
1. Hemorrhoids( piles) is most common reason. They are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus.
2.Anal fissures- a tear sometimes caused due to hard stool passage
3.Infection of intestines
4.Rarely it might be colon cancer
If problem persists, you should visit a Gastroenterologist

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