Bright Red Blood: While it might be hemorrhoids, if the condition continues, you should be evaluated for other diseases by a gastroenterologist.

Isolated bleed: Most likely hemorrhoidal/ fissure. If persistent bleed let your doc know. Stay well hydrated, avoid constipation, eat lots of fruit and veggies, avoid sitting position.
