What Does Blood And Mucus In Stool Indicate?

I'm 21 years old male. Theres blood mixed in with my stool and a bit of mucus (I think). I'm pretty sure I havent got piles or anything like that though. My bowel habits are normal and I feel normal and healthy. What else could this be if its not piles?
