Trace of blood on toilet paper hemorrhoids or cancer?

Have it evaluated.: Blood in the stool is not diagnostic of any one disorder. However, it needs to be evaluated. See a gastroenterologist.

Could be either.: Very good idea to get evaluated by your primary doctor. If needed, he/she may refer you to a specialist.
