Hi,
Thanks for reverting.
The possibilities in your case are bleeding piles due to severe straining at stools.
If there are no further bleeding episodes, then follow the given advice:
1. Take plenty of oral fluids
2. Take plenty of vegetable fiber
3. Curtail red meat intake for the time being
4. Take mild stool softener for atleast 10 days.
If you still have bleeding episodes after following the above advice, then you need to consult a general surgeon to get yourself examined and investigated further.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
