General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of passing blood in stool, twice in 20 minutes. This is with discomfort and no pain.
The commonest causes are:
Piles also called as hemorrhoids, which do not cause pain even on bleeding .
Polyp in the rectum, does not cause pain.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a General Surgeon for per-rectal digital examination, prosctoscopy, colonoscopy after preparation to get hte proper diagnosis, biopsy if required.
Once diagnosed get the cause treated and you will be fine without any problems.
I find this answer helpful
