Rectal fissure: The blood was not likely "uterine blood", but rather blood from either a rectal fissure (a tiny tear around the anus) or from a hemorrhoid, especially if you were straining at a constipated stool. You need to treat your constipation first and foremost to avoid recurrence of problem - lots of fiber and >80 ounces of water/fluids every single day. If persists, have doc check it out.

Yes: If there was pain in the anal area associated with the bm, a fissure or hemorrhoid could also be a source of the blood.

Possible!: Theoretically, it possible as the two organs are close to each other. You may want to take laxatives and increase you hydration to resolve the constipation problem!

Could be normal: I am not worried about light bleeding that comes around when your period ends. There is always a little blood left in the uterus and can come out. If you have bleeding not associated with your menses, then you need to call your gynecologist.
