A member asked:
Omg! blood in poop!? how common is anus cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Anus cancer is not that common, but, blood in stools (poop) is a serious issue and you should see your doctor asap. It may be as simple as piles, hemorrhoids, or as serious as a bleeding colon cancer.
