Hello,
You need a rectal examination to determine the cause of the bleeding.
The ,most common causes are hemorrhoids and fissure. These can easily detected by a rectal examination. In case both of these are not there then you would need a sigmoidoscopy/ Colonoscopy to find the cause of the bleeding.
Further management can be decided only after a physical examination so please consult your doctor

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Some of the causes of bleeding while passing stools are hemorrhoids, anal fissure, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease and malignancy.
If you are constipated, hemorrhoids or fissure is the probable cause.
A digital rectal examination and proctosigmoidoscopy test may be done to find the cause. In the second test a long slender tube is inserted through the anal opening and the inside of the anorectum and colon is seen to locate the source of bleeding.
I hope that answers your query.
