Question 1

what are the odds of blood clots or internal bleeding with cancer in general?

Accepted Answer

Elevate several fold: You are asking about the risk of blood clot in patients with cancer.  The risk is increased several fold over normal people.  Cancer cells themselves are making substances that help them move through the blood stream then stop and make more cancer cells.  This favors clot.  Patients with cancer also tend to have less activity as the cancer advances which also favors clot.

Question 2

can skin cancer damage the kidneys and cause internal bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Depends: there are different types of skin cancers.  A melanoma can go to internal organs and cause bleeding.  Sometimes a squamous cell cancer can also go to internal organs.  So the answer is that it is possible and often occurs with some types of skin cancer

Accepted Answer

Obgyn visit: The next steps is to schedule a visit with an obgyn. If all of these tests that you mention are normal then you may simply have dysfunctional uterine bleeding -- a very common condition. You doctor can discuss options for cycle regulation such as birth control or other hormonal manipulation

Question 4

would dr be able to see cervical cancer when examining cervix? (saw dr due to bleeding after sex and she did internal examination said looks healthy)

Accepted Answer

Yes, It is visible: Cancer of the cervix produces a growth on the surface of the cervix, so nearly all cervix cancers are visible to the eye. if the cervix looked healthy to your doctor, then there is no obvious Cancer there. A Pap smear must have been done, so follow up on that report which can reveal the pre-cancerous condition called in- situ cancer, which is something not considered cancerous.

Accepted Answer

Colonoscopy: Return to your doctor to review this.  The only way to know for sure if you have cancer is to do a biopsy with a colonoscopy.  Bright red blood is more likely to be hemorrhoids but that is not foolproof.  Let your doctor know of your concerns.
