Rectorrhagia
Presence of fresh blood in the stool is called rectorrhagia. Hemorrhoids are the most common reason for rectorrhagia but intestinal tumors and inflammations should be excluded first. Jaundice can be due to some liver disorder (hepatitis), bile drainage stop or haemolitic anemia and is probably not related with rectorrhagia.
Do you still have fresh blood in the stool?
Do you experience constipation, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, anal pain/itching?
