It refers to blood coming through the anus and is indicative of lower gastrointestinal damage. Depending on the volume and appearance of the blood, this can be a true medical emergency and help should be sought immediately.
If you're seeing just a little bit of bright red blood, maybe on your toilet paper or in the toilet bowl, it may just be a hemorrhoid that has been slightly damaged and is bleeding, usually from a hard bowel movement. You should always have a doctor check out any unexplained anal bleeding.
