What is the cause of blood in men?

Question
Hello doctor,
Two days ago, I discovered that I had bright red blood in my stool. The blood clings to the stool, not mixed, and there is a feeling of pain in the left abdomen. Lately, I eat breakfast a bit late and sometimes skip meals. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of blood in men? I thank you doctor.
