1. The stools have been both soft and medium hard at times. I usually have one stool per day.
2. I don't think there was any mucous in the stool.

3. The amount of blood varies from 1/4 a cup to 1/3 of a cup, but stops after a few minutes. It is bright red blood.

Today, Thurs., I had a stool and no blood for the lst time in 5 days.

Brief Answer:
Probably hemorrhoids!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Probably hemorrhoids. All we need to do at this time is just to monitor. I believe we would be able to achieve spontaneous resolution without the need for further medical intervention. Let me hear how this progresses. I wish you well.
