Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

There are many different causes for bleeding per rectum.
In your case it looks like it is due to anal fissure.
You need to take laxatives/stool softeners ( like Miralax, metamucil).

Do sitz bath and apply anovate to the anal verge.

Take high fiber diet and drink enough fluids.

Regards,
Dr.R.K
