What Causes Nose Bleeds During A Bowel Movement?

I m a 73 YO male in good health...5 10.5 weight about 146 pounds. My nose belt like it was dripping when I had a bowel movement the day before yesterday and I was surprised that it was bright red blood. A couple of drops fell on the floor while I was on the toilet. I wiped my nose and that was the end of it until last night when I had my next bowel movement and the same thing happened again. I had another movement this morning and it now has happened again. I never have had nose bleeds before and don t know what to make of this.
