Get referred to a gastrointerologist asap. There are a variety of things it could be, and few of those are anything you can get away with ignoring.
If it’s bright red, could be a ruptured blood vessel from straining to defecate to chrohns disease or ulcerative colitis. The later nearly killed me. Dark red to coffee ground consistency can be stomach ulcers. These can be a one off thing or chrilonic and lead to anemia, malnutrition, cancer etc…
Mind, I’m not a doctor, but I had dealt with serious symptoms of UC for over a decade and would be dead by now had I not gotten surgery. Got pretty familiar with digestive tract issues. Don’t take it lightly
