chances are you have internal hemorrhoids.
i would go with hemmeroids, but still see your dr anything like that needs to be investigated.
could have been something you ate that has irritated your bowel also.
best of luck
it could be a lot of thing polyps or an ulcer try not to worry there is so many things it could be not only cancer excellent luck
It depends on the color of the blood. Google it up and most likely youll eliminate possibilities and hopefully the possibility of colon cancer.
Bright red blood is generally a sign of bleeding low in the logic such as hemorrhoids. Bleeding higher up is such as in your colon ordinarily will not be bright red by the time it exits the body so it goes unnoticed by most people. A stool sample can reveal this occult (hidden) blood easily tho. Additional test can then be done to establish the source.
Making the appointment was the appropriate thing to do. Hemorrhoids are very common and are caused by straining at stool and constipation so the chances there are high. Try to relax until you see the doc. I know that is hard, but worrying won’t do you any excellent. Excellent luck.
