Many possibilities: Most likely related to hemorrhoids or possibly a cyst. Do you have signs of constipation and could this be tearing in the rectum/anus? Certainly there are other concerning possibilities but they are less likely. I would start by drinking lots of fluids, eat more fruits and veggies, maybe take a stool softener and get to the point where you have 1-2 soft BM a day. If still blood, see MD.
