Depends: Most often its a hemorrhoid, but depending on several factors such as age and other conditions, can be sign of dangerous issues. Drink less caffieine, more water, take fiber supplement for 2 wks, if worsens, changes, or doesnt go away, seek medical attention.

Stool blood: Blood, especially mixed in stool is abnormal and must be checked. Possibilities include hemorrhoids, anal fissure, divericulosis, tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, trauma from hard stool. Your physician will take a history, examine you and then order appropriate tests if deemed advisable.
