I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my srgical experience, light pink blood while cleaning anus after
pooping may be related to reappearance of anal fissure or hemorrhoid
condition.
However, additional information would be of much help to discuss further in this regard.
1. Do you have constipation or passing hard stool recently ?
