Brief Answer:
You should avoid constipation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your bleeding can be caused by hard stools. Since fibre intake avoids constipation, you get relieved by taking it.
Also drink lots of water as it helps in avoiding hard stools.
Increase the vegetables and fruit content in your diet.

I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a gastroenterologist. Also get yourself checked for anal fissures and hemorrhoids.
A CT scan of abdomen can be helpful to rule out any other lesion in the gastrointestinal tract.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, i will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
