Most likely you just tore something when you passed the dry stool after two weeks. But that should heal in just a few days. Drink plenty of water and take metamucil or some other fiber supplement that softens your stool to avoid further tearing. If the bleeding goes on for more than a week, you really MUST go to a doctor. Colon cancer is one nasty possibility. Ulcerative colitis is another.
If it seems to be letting up after a week, add lots of raw fruits and veggies and whole-grain cereals like All-Bran or Fiber One to your diet and cut way back on meat to keep from having another bout with constipation.
My concern is that constipation was the first symptom of the problem, as it can be with some of the more serious possibilities.
Even with no insurance, don't ignore the bleeding for more than a week. And if you already ate a lot of fruit, veggies, and whole grains and had normally soft BMs until this sudden constipation, I'd say make that appointment NOW. Adding anemia to the underlying problem will just make things worse, and you CAN bleed yourself into anemia with diseases like ulcerative colitis.
If you have to pay the doctor to reassure you that you just have hemmrhoids, then it's money well spent. The other, more serious, possibilities require treatment ASAP.
Good luck. I hope all this is just a bad memory in a few days.

Well, it could be a number of things but probably one of two; either its hemorrhoids or you did simply, while pushing, tore your anal regions soft tissues and when that happens you bleed, and quite a lot.
Since you were constipated and pushed, you could very well have caused some hemorrhoids to form, and when these bleed they can bleed a lot.
Either way, it might or might not be a problem at all. Most times this will heal on its own and is quite common. But, if the bleeding continues, on a regular basis, for say a week or more, then its time to visit the good ole proctologist to have it checked out and taken care of.
On the worse end of the scale it could be colon cancer, but this would be rare but certainly not unheard of. If you have concerns about that then you have to have the poop shoot viewed with a camera to check for polyps.
In any case, hope it all works out.

there's no home remedy. go to the hospital and go fast. This isn't good at all. Drive over to Canada and go to the hospital here in the emergency. doesn't cost anything at all.

drink lots of water i think your constipation caused the breakage of sensitive skin in your anal region causing it to bleed
