Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having internal bleeding piles.
When hard stool passes, it give friction pressure on internal piles, giving rise to bleeding.
If you are elderly then your case should be evaluated.
Then consult Gastro-enterologist and get investigated.
Avoid constipation.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Take laxative daily at night.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
