The question arises that, did you suffer from chronic constipation? if your answer is in NO, than don't waste your time on the web, and consult your gastroentelogist, for a sigmoidscopy or any other test which he thinks better.

A thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis by the doctor is important any time bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool occurs. Bleeding may also be a symptom of other digestive diseases, including colorectal cancer.
The doctor will examine the anus and rectum to look for swollen blood vessels that indicate hemorrhoids and will also perform a digital rectal exam with a gloved, lubricated finger to feel for abnormalities.
Closer evaluation of the rectum for hemorrhoids requires an exam with an anoscope, a hollow, lighted tube useful for viewing internal hemorrhoids, or a proctoscope, useful for more completely examining the entire rectum.
To rule out other causes of gastrointestinal bleeding, the doctor may examine the rectum and lower colon (sigmoid) with sigmoidoscopy or the entire colon with colonoscopy. Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are diagnostic procedures that also involve the use of lighted, flexible tubes inserted through the rectum.
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including walking, and increased fiber in the diet help reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.

Your age is the most important thing here. If you are under 30 and have no family history of colon cancer or familial polypoid disease, then I'd say it is 99.999% likely to hemmorhoids. Other causes can be inflammatory bowel disease and anal fissures, but you're not describing pain. 50% or more of people in the US have hemmorhoids. Be kind to your gut, eat lots of fiber, lower your intake of red meats. If the problem happens with every poop, go see your doctor in the office.

no one here can tell you and no one SHOULD tell you---what you need is a doctor's appointment and he should take a stool sample and blood tests and other tests to determine what is wrong.... blood in your stool is NOT normal ....if it HURT to push when you went to the bathroom then you COULD have broken a hemorrhoid which is not Such a serious thing, but, best to be on the safe side and see a doctor ASAP.....

Depends on your age and whether you have piles (Hemorrhoids). It could also be tomato peel. Sometimes vaginal bleeding may be mistaken as rectal bleeding. This is more likely to happen in very obese people.
I suggest take a trip to doctor.
