What should I do if there is blood in the stool and anal pain?

Patient's question:

Today when I went to the toilet, I vaguely felt uncomfortable. As a result, I noticed that there was blood in my stool, bright red, which was very terrifying. Also, my anus was very painful, and I don't know what's going on. Doctor, what should I do if there's blood in my stool and my anus hurts? Is there any good solution?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring blood in stool with anal pain may be caused by rectal inflammation or hemorrhoids. It is often due to long-term constipation caused by dry stools or poor gastrointestinal health leading to constipation. You can visit a formal colorectal department for a thorough examination, take some anti-inflammatory and cooling medications, and apply hemorrhoid cream externally. Pay attention to a light diet to prevent dryness and constipation, and consume more foods that promote bowel movement and moisturize the intestines.
