Why Am I Having Diarrhea With Lots Of Blood?

I have been farting blood for a week now, what should I do? My poo is either diarrhea or very soft. It is no where near as big as it used to be. I have an appetite. Before, I had problems with occasional blood in my stool, I was told it was minor hemarroids but this is A LOT more blood and it hasn't gotten any better.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the most common cause of blood stain stool is constipation and that may cause the fissures and this could be the cause of blood stain stool of course this may be hemorrhoid, so first try to relieve the constipation first and for that have fiber containing diet and drink more water, if this is not then it may needed many tests hope this information helps.
