A member asked:
When you see blood (bright red) in your stool ( first time today) does that mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Abnormal bleeding from any site needs to be checked out. It may be as simple as hemorrhoids, but even that needs to be treated. Please consult your doctor as an in-person evaluation is needed.
