Of course it depends on the amount of blood. But this is not too uncommon. Could be cuffitis. Not an urgent concern. Sometimes it is just irritation from all the stool coming through.

If it is a lot of blood, it could be something more, like a burst blood vessel. If you are feeling lightheaded, rapid heart rate, or other symptoms of hemorrhage you should go to the ER.
