Local bleeding.: That would usually indicate a bleeding source right at the exit, such as a hemorrhoid or anal fissure. Fissures usually cause tremendous pains as the stool is passing through.

Blood not normal: Bloody stools are not normal and should be evaluated by your doctor. Bright green poop may be caused by infection, excessive bilirubin, diet, or dyes in food. My son worried me when he had the most beautiful sea-foam green poop as a baby. We found out it was from his cousin's popcorn in the school colors-- blue and yellow. Regardless, you should see your doctor for an evaluation of the blood.
