General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Red blood with stools or coming in drops after passing stools is usually due to bleeding from the anal canal or lower rectum. Hemorrhoids and rectal polyps are common cause. You must consult a Gastro surgeon, who can examine, investigate and diagnose the problem and treat you.

Thank You!
