Hello,

There are various reasons for back pain with blood in stool as:
- Fissure
- Hemorrhoid
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Gastroenteritis
- Other intestine pathology
- Coagulation disorder
- Others

Need systemic case evaluation with procto-anoscopy with or without colonoscopy as per the clinical concern.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
