Hello.Bleeding with depositions is common in people with constipation but if starting defecation is difficult and constipation is common is advisable to go to your doctor.He will do a rectal exam to rule out any pathology of the rectal ampulla (sometimes there may be obstruction ) and will request, perhaps, an abdomen radiography to rule pathologies related to constipation.
I wish you good health.
