Hello,
You have normal stool report; hence, infective etiology seems less likely here.
You had mentioned history of piles and operation for that. So, blood in stool can be because of that. After healing of that, blood in stool will disappear.
Also, consult the gastroenterologist for examination if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
