Blood in stool: GI symptoms. Please see your doc who may refer you to a GI doc or order an upper and lower scope. It MAY be anything from straining when having a BM to something more. It is very important that you follow up. Then you may catch this early and have peace of mind. Peace and good health.

Contact your GI now: Given your colon cancer history, you need to contact your GI ASAP. I have recently seen a patient (who was twice your age) who have had recurrent colon polyps and presented only with severe anemia. He turned out to have stage III stomach cancer as well. Colon cancer in the 3rd decade of life is unusual and thus you need to be more vigilant on your health.
