35 year old male. i am diabetic and have high blood pressure. couple days ago as i was straining in the toilet i noticed blood. i have been burping a lot and my stomach has been hurting me. im concerned this could be colon cancer?

Fresh, red blood is likely to be from the anus and could be due to hemorrhoids or fissure. Colon cancer is unlikely, You can avoid constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyl
