A member asked:

Rectal bleeding after bowel movement? pale, almost pink blood and not mixed in stool,very small amount. slightly constipated-straining occurred.why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Internal hemmorhoid: When blood is seen on the stool this represents a low lying benign process representing either bleeding from an internal hemmorhoid or a bleeding fistula or superficial tear in rectal mucosa. Firm stool from constipation initiates the bleeding. Use stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium).
