I would have thought that discomfort in the anus after straining too hard would be more likely to be haemorrhoids - I had one there.
I had a false positive from a stool sample and a clear colonoscopy - and a few years later I did not immediately send off the sample, as I thought I would get another false positive.
When I was getting crescent-shaped stools I thought it was because of the haemorrhoid, but I had a colonoscopy and they found and removed a polyp - I had been getting discomfort in my sigmoid (the bit of colon between the descending colon and the rectum).
They said that the polyp might have turned cancerous.
I am 70.
you need to go to your GP .This could be haemorrhoids or a polyp in your rectum it looks low down due to being bright red blood but go and get checked out you never know.
