Question 1

i passed a very hard stool just before christmas which caused me slight rectal bleeding and piles, i also have anxiety and am very worried it's cancer?

Accepted Answer

Well first, take a : Deep breath in and then blow out some of your fear. Statistically, the bleeding was most likely related to your constipation/ hemorrhoids. If you have more than that 1 episode then just get it checked by your doctor. For the hemorrhoids - you need to keep stool soft. Drink at least 64 oz of water a day. Try to work the junk food out of your diet and instead enjoy at least 5 servings of vegetables.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: It certainly could be a hemorrhoid, and that's probably most likely. However, with a past hisotry of anal cancer (no matter how long ago), for sure you need to see a doctor to chaeck this out, even if the bleeding stops.

Question 7

what's the difference between hemorrhoids ,abscess and anal cancer cause i noticed about 10 days ago a skin colored lump on anus. no bleeding or pain?

Accepted Answer

Anal fissure: What you described suggests an anal fissure. Take a fiber laxative, like Metamucil, and drink plenty of water to keep your stool soft and give it time to heal.
You are not likely to have either abscess or cancer.

Question 8

what would cause fit + in a 45y female with hx of colorectal cancer in remission and hemorrhoid ligation done 6mo ago, last egd+colo in 11/2020 (1 tabular adenoma bx, erosive gastritis), cea 0.7, 2g/dl hgb drop in last 2mo w/o clear bleeding source?

Accepted Answer

: If FIT is positive, source of blood loss is likely from the GI tract, especially you have iron deficiency anemia with that 2 gm Hb loss. Unfortunately, you will need both upper and lower endoscopic studies again. Bleeding from small intestine can happen but it is relatively rare.
