My occult fecal blood fit test came back positive, what does tis mean?

Blood in stool: If your heme occult test is positive, it means you have some bleeding source in the intestinal tract that can't be seen with the naked eyes. Even though, you are 43, you should still have a colonoscopy to assure no colon cancer.
