What Causes Rectal Bleeding After A Bowel Movement?

Rectal bleeding: If there is blood after defecation, but the stools appear without blood, could this just be a busted fissure? I was diagnosed with this issue back in 1990 with the same symptoms. Today I had to push hard due to dryness and I knew it might cause bleeding, and I was right. I did not consume my usual fluid amounts today (usually 1 quart of water) Should this be a concern?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your symptoms, You have rectal bleeding. Bleeding can be due to two main reasons Hemorrhoids( piles) & Anal fissure

As you previously had anal fissure so chances of fissure in you are more. Most common cause of fissure is constipation, hard stool passage, excessive straining during defecation,etc. If constipation is there fibres in diet should be increased. Laxatives can also be used.

If problem persists, you should visit a Gastroenterologist.
Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved
