Last night after I took a crap and  I noticed red streaks on the toilet paper. Today I had mild pain in my thighs and lower back. Should I seek medical attention. Please advise ... Thanks in advance

This is the anal cancer forum, so I assume this is your worry.
The blood could be the result of irritated hemorroids (sp?) the comm on term being 'piles' .  This condition is benign, but you should be seen to confirm my non-medical opinion.

You need to be seen by a doctor to diagnosis what is causing the bleeding.
