Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Blood in stool can be due to upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding or from lower GI bleeding or some external bleeding.

If it is pure red in colour then it can be due to piles, fissure or mass in rectum or lower colon.

Blackish blood can be due to bleeding from peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding.

You should go for per rectal examination, stool examination and ultrasound abdomen. This will give you exact idea regarding cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
