Blood In Stool, White Substance Floating, Not Pinworms

Today i went to the bathroom, its been 3 days since my last bowl movement, and this isnt all that abnormal seeing as as long as i can remember ive been having bowel movements every other day, but today i couldnt poop that much, it was smaller than usual and i saw blood in my stool and white cobweb looking things floating at the top of the water afterwards. Also it didn t hurt as it usually does, i ve been drinking more water than i used to too because i was sick for a week 2 or 3 weeks ago. Also the strands were pretty long and i havent noticed anything like it on my bed so i think it unlikely to be pinworms.

Hello, you seem to be having increased mucus in your stools and combined with slight bleeding, it suggests that you can have an ulcer in rectum.
please see a colorectal surgeon - proctologist and get proctoscopy or colonoscopy done for diagnosis.

please donot indulge in self medication.
take care.
wish you good health.
