Hi,
Chronic GI infection might cause this problem.
But at the same time bleeding internal piles should be ruled out.
Go for stool test for infection and occult or fresh blood.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
After report go for appropriate medicine course accordingly.
Avoid constipation.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
