Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
Since he is constipated and has passed lots of red blood, the most likely cause is hemorrhoids. Other causes of blood in stool are fissure, polyps, solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and diverticulosis.
A sigmoidoscopy test may be done to find the cause.
I hope that answers your question.
