Blood in stool
More than a month ago, I had a small streak of blood which I noticed on my stool and I was kind of constipated since then like I was getting stools, but once in 3 to 4 days, the consistency of the stool is hard and mostly the beginning part of the stool usually has a lot of mucus on it. Since a few days I change my diet and the mucus has significantly reduced, but I have begun to see Blood streaks like two lines of streaks of blood on the stool. Since the last 10 days it is not every day, but I have noticed that it is not on the days when I have diarrhoea. Usually I see it when there is hard stool before and I see the blood . Do you think this could be contributing to the problem? I have not had good fruits since the last one month, the previous month, there was a phase where I was not getting stools for like 4 to 3 days once and the school was really hard and big today. Also, small small pieces of stool came out like pellets and then the bigger one with two bloody steaks pls help

Looks like fissure in ano. Usually diet modification and stool softener will do. If there is some mass coming out and increase in bleeding and more painful even after all this consult a surgeon. Try to take more Fibre and more fluid intake.

First don't worry...it is fairly a common problem which is completely treatable with proper diet and consultation...when u see streaks of fresh blood it indicates u might be suffering from haemorrhoids which needs surgery only if it is big otherwise diet modification and ointment is enough.kindly consult a surgeon nearby for further management
