Hemmorhoids, fissure: I would think that this is most likely hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. There is bleeding, and many times there is pain and itching. If you have a lot of blood, i would say get to a hospital/er asap for possible GI bleed, but this is common with hemorrhoids especially, and so if you just have some blood, then take a stool softener and an analgesic and see your doctor if it gets worse.

Red flags: Agree with dr. W. Remember these warning signs: fever, weight loss, belly pain, diarrhea, black or dark red bm's, bleeding that goes on for a long time or returns over and over again. If you have any of these red flags, please see your doc because these are not hemorrhoid signs. Also if you are 50 years or older and haven't been screened for colon cancer, this may be a good reminder to do so!
