A member asked:
Is having small amounts of blood in my stool when i'm constipated a sign of colon cancer?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.
