A member asked:
Is it possible to have a tumor in rectum with no bleeding and at what point would they change.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectal tumor: Yes, many rectal cancers produce no symptoms and are discovered during digital or proctoscopic screening examinations. Occult bleeding is detected via a fecal occult blood test (fobt) in 26% of all cases. Bleeding could start when any blood vessel is damaged in or around the rectum.
