Is it okay to go out with bloody stools with abdominal pain?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have normal stools and there is a red streak of blood in the stool. Lately, I've also been having pain in my stomach. So the doctor asked me if I had bloody stools with abdominal pain? Am I constipated? Thank you.
