Needs evaluation: If the blood is only on the surface of the stool, it could be hemorrhoids or anal fissure. But if intermixed with the stool, and especially if you have cramping and weight loss, then you need to see a gastroenterologist

Your symptom: are pretty "classic" for HEMORRHOIDS!!!! Sitz baths could help (sitting in warm-hot bathtub) as might a NUMBER of OTC hemorrhoid Preparations! HOWEVER rectal BLEEDING needs confirmed DIAGNOSIS ...Get it "looked at" soon! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
