A member asked:
Can external hemmeroid cause positive at home fit stool test (no visible bleeding)? 35 years old and freaking out (colonoscopy in a week). had routine fecal hemaquant test 2 years ago which was normal. current cbc/cmp and hs-crp normal. scared?

Bleeding from hemorrhoids can give a positive fit test. However, you should go ahead with the colonoscopy to rule out a more serious issue. Wish you good health!
