If the blood is bright red it means it comes from near the outlet. Often from a crack/fissure in the purse string like closing mechanism of the outlet. The further up the origin the darker red & a shift to purple or black blood would be because of breakdown. Constipation or bulky stools passed quickly can cause such cracks. I don't think of cancer without dark red/purple or black blood.

Although the chances that you have colon cancer are low, the chance is not zero. Since colon cancer is only curable if it is caught early, it is vital that you get checked immediately. colon cancer has been occurring in younger patients lately, but it is curable if it is caught early enough. Get checked by a gastroenterologist ASAP. Do not delay. Good luck.
