Hello and thanks for posting your query on HCM
Presence of blood and mucus in stools can be due to hemmorhoids, bacterial infection or some large gut problem.
Your doctor has examined and told you that it is due to haemmorhoids. It is not a very serious problem and it will get alright after surgery.
Regarding blood in saliva, it may be due to some problem in the throat. You should visit an ENT surgeon for exact diagnosis.
Thanks and take care
