Question

Hi I saw bright red blood on stool and on toilet paper after bowel movement! I have no pain or discomfort just the blood. My dr said likely internal piles and told me to take more fiber. Could it be cancer? Im 32. Is colon cancer common at my age?

Answer 1

Hemorrhoidal: bleeding. It could be your internal hemorrhoids. See your family doctor to confirm.

Answer 2

See doctor: That symptom may be due to rectal cancer, hemorrhoids, or anal fissure. You need a competent examination. Consult a physician.

Answer 3

Get checked out: Even though your rectal bleeding is most likely from your hemorrhoids, you should see your family doctor to be evaluated and treated as indicated.

Answer 4

Hemorrhoids: It is possible that these are your hemorrhoids bleeding. Do you have hx of constipation? If you soften your stools and treat yourself with steroid cream topically and the bleeding does not improve then consider visit to the doctor,
