22 year old. red blood in bowel movements. is this a sign of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low likelihood, but: Go to a health provider to figure this out. Colon cancer is very, very rare in someone <30 years old. There are many other causes of red blood in stool; that being said, this is something that should be taken care of sooner than later.
