HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Blood in the stool may not always be due to very serious causes though they should be ruled out.
If the pain in the abdomen and blood continue, you should be seen by your doctor for assessment and investigations.
Causes include: diverticular disease, hemorrhoids, mass in the colon, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease
I hope this helps
