Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Anal Opening With Bloody Stool

i am 21, male. 5'3, 150 lbs. and no major medical history. i am experiencing short but sharp pain during defacation that seems to originate from the tip of the anus. stools are slightly laced with bright red blood although today there was more blood than usual. bowel movements are normal although i noticed the stools are rather large. it happened previously a few a weeks ago and a friend told me try drinking lots of water and fibre and it everything returned to normal. however, i haven't really watched my diet the last week and the bloody stools have returned. could this be serious or diet-related?
