I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns today and will put my best efforts to get you out of this situation.
It seems to be due to the bleeding from the hemorrhoids and is very common issue associated with hemorrhoids.
Avoid constipation and for that keep a good amount of high fiber diet in routine. e.g. Green leafy vegetables and fruits. Plenty of Water to drink and add Citrucel dietary fiber supplements. Still constipated, you may take Lactulose syrup.
Now you have to consult your Gastroenterologist for in person evaluation and management goes according to the outcome of this visit which will enforce a through physical examination and some diagnostics if needed.
