A member asked:

Is having small amounts of blood in my stool when i'm constipated a sign of colon cancer?

Maybe: Statistically speaking, the blood is more likely to be due to hemorrhoids than colon cancer but it is impossible to tell the difference without performing a colonoscopy. I recommend you see your primary care doctor for a referral to a gastroentrologist or colorectal surgeon.

Yes: You need a colonoscopy to find out it can be.
