Well come HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be the blood stain stool or it may not be bleeding per rectum but it seems to be due to diet taken, if the condition of blood need to be confirmed then stool need to be sent for laboratory examination and rectum needs to be examined clinically, moreover the sinus surgery may not cause the bleeding per rectum or blood stain stool, or bleeding at the time of defecation, at the most it could be fissures that might be causing the bleeding so get this confirmed but it is not the surgery causing the bleeding hope this information helps.
