Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
From the description you have given, it appears that your husband is having 'fissure in ano', which is precipitated by constipation.
Anal fissures are damage to mucosal membrane, which bleeds and hence causes appearance of blood in stools.
He needs to be attended by a Surgeon as he needs to undergo cryosurgery for its cure. In the meantime, he can take laxatives to soften stools to ease his defecation.
Wish him goid health.
