Hemorrhoid or something concerning?

so today when I used the bathroom I realized that there was a small red streak on one of my stools but not the rest. I’m not sure if this is a hemorrhoid or if it could be something more serious. There was no red on my toilet paper only that weird red streak on the one stool.

What color red? If it was bright-ish (kind of like the color of blood from a cut on your skin), it's most likely hemorrhoids. Have a doc check it out just to be sure.

It was kinda just like a normal color red. I was constipated the poop before and then i noticed the small red streak the second time i went.

It could be food residue from something you ate, especially if you had no blood on toilet paper! Like a red pepper or tomato skin.

It’s likely it’s a Hemorrhoid, I was having lots of blood in my Pooh, to the point blood was changing the toilet bowl water was red sometimes and the doctors can only put it down to that.
