Haematochesia: Or bright red blood per rectum denotes pathology of the lower Gi tract. The differential includes a variety of conditions with the most common for you age range being hemorrhoids or piles, anal fissure or inflammatory bowel disease among others. Would recommend starting by seeing your doc for an exam. In the interim avoid constipation and prolonged seating, maintain good hydration and exercise.
