Brief Answer: Please follow the suggestions below... Detailed Answer: Hi again, Thank you for writing back and sending in more of your medical data. The strange feeling of rectal pressure could be related to being constipated. Having bright red blood in your stool are indicative for hemorrhoids which might have been caused by constipation. So, I suggest to consult GI specialist and proctologist and to run the following tests: - abdominal echo - to further examine the abdominal organs - colonoscopy - to check the presence of polyps or cancer - complete blood work to check out for anemia Meanwhile, I strongly suggest to avoid constipation through: - drinking more water - do not strain too long or hold your breathe while passing the motion - eat more fiber rich foods - take sena and/or lactulose to soften the feces All the best! Dr.Klerida
