Left lower stomach pain gastric band removal 4 months ago blood test all good but orange mucus in every stool concerned ! could this be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psible but stil rare: Unclear what the orange mucus is. Blood will sometimes appear orange in stool hemorrhoids, not cancer, would be the most comon cause of blood in the stools but this usually is bright red. You should have an md test for blood in the stool. If negative, u can look for other causes (?Diet) if positive, you will need a colonoscopy to rule out diverticulosis, polyp or less likely a cancer.
