Rectal bleeding

I have rectal bleeding, itching, and hard stools for over two weeks now. It hurts when I use the bathroom (try to pass a stool) and I have a hard time sitting after passing a stool.  Also I am passing mucus in my stool?

Try taking a stool softener and using some kinda over the counter cream for hemorrhoids. This should help you.

hemorrhoids can cause the bleeding although I would still get evaluated by a doctor to make sure nothing serious is going on

also you may want to increase your fiber intake to help you to go to the restroom easier
