Please : Please return to your doctor for another evaluation. You may need an anoscopy or colonoscopy (types of scope tests) to check your bowel. If you have continued bleeding, pain, or feel light-headed/faint, then you will need to go to the er.

I : I agree with dr. Engrav. There are other causes of gasterointestinal bleeding besides colon cancer. It is important to check for the source of bleeding. You do need evaluation, even if you are 26 years old.
