Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy required

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM,

Considering your age and symptoms, you should get colonoscopy done to rule out some serious diagnoses. Most commonly, this is caused by benign issues such as hemorrhoids, fissures, dietary changes or polyps but tumors should be ruled out as well. So tumors markers, stool for occult blood test and red blood count should be done.

Till then, have easier diet, more fluids, high fiber food.

Wish you good health.
