Blood after stool
My husband mentioned that he saw some blood in toilet bowl after pooping. Poop is normal in colour he could see some blood only in toilet water. This happened 3 times. And earlier this week he had to put some strain to poop and also had anal pain after. Is this causing the bleeding or is it something more serious??

The two most likely possibilities are:
1. Anal fissure (a small tear near the anus)
Usually develops after passing hard stools or straining.
Causes pain, burning or discomfort during or after passing stools.
Typically produces fresh, bright-red blood.
Blood may be seen in the toilet bowl or on toilet paper.
2. Haemorrhoids (piles)
Swollen blood vessels around or inside the anus.
Can cause painless, bright-red bleeding during bowel movements.
Sometimes blood drips into the toilet bowl.
May be associated with constipation and straining.
Next Steps
Get a clinical examination, including a perianal examination and digital rectal examination if appropriate.
