Hemorrhoids.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Since you were having a little bit of pain on your left side, I think you should call your Dr. just to be safe. It does not cost anything to make that call and better safe than sorry. And you can have bright red blood from higher up that means it's a new bleed not old blood that's been in your intestinal tract for a while. If it were me I'd call the doctor. Good Luck and hope you feel better.

Hey everyone thanks for the advice, since that occurred I've had 3 more bowel movements and no sign of blood, should I still contact my doctor or wait til it happens again?
