What causes blood in stool and pain while passing stool in toddlers?

My 3 year old cries while passing stool and I saw a little blood. Is this a fissure, and which doctor should I see?

Blood in stool and pain during bowel movements in a toddler can be a sign of an anal fissure, which is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by constipation or hard stools. This is relatively common in young children and is usually not a cause for major concern.
You should consult a pediatric surgeon or a pediatrician who can examine your child and recommend appropriate treatment, which often includes dietary changes and stool softeners.
