A member asked:
Causes of bleeding during bowel movement in 28 yr old?saw doc & did not do exam,only scheduled colonoscopy. im very concerned now. no fam hx of cancer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The first step: Is a rectal exam. You could have a fissure or a hemorrhoid. In that case, a colonoscopy wouldn't necessarily be required.
