As described, the chance of colon cancer is low, but ask for a referral to a GI physician for guidance, as any bleeding on "stool and paper" should be evaluated.

Colon cancer is not common in someone in their early 30s, but it has been becoming more common lately in younger patients. Therefore, if you have any bleeding in the digestive tract, it is vital to get it checked out ASAP. Colon cancer can only be cured if it is caught early enough. See a Gastroenterologist immediately. Good luck.
