Hi XXXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query. I would like to reassure you that nothing is seriously wrong with your health.
It probably looks like infective diarrhea. Please do not panic. However, it would be better to have a clinical examination with physician or gastroenterologist, also rule out hemorrhoids and may start appropriate medication (if required).

If you have bleeding per vagina, get a gynecological examination done to rule out local pathology.

I wish you quick recovery. Let me know if you have more concerns.

Regards,
