Basics: Bright red blood coating the outside of stool or clots that are bright red come from near/at the outlet. Hard/bulky or rapidly exiting poop can scratch/tear a fissure at the outlet.The darker/purpler blood would represent coming from higher up. A simple anal exam can confirm a fissure. Higher up issues involve more extensive study.
