Blood on stool
Hello I'm 23 yr old ,
Recently 1 month ago I experienced blood on my stool ( fresh ).
My gastro doctor told me to take fiber and he did a proctoscopy in my anus did find nothing .
I didn't see blood stool after that event but I was taking duphalax for prebiotic at nights . During mornings it did improve my stool shape but I see frothy stool in evenings after my workouts i beleive this could be my lunch meals .... i don't know what's happening in my body could this be a sign of cancer ?? Recently I'm experiencing difference in consistency of my stool sometimes ( mushy )
Cancer is one of the cause for blood in stool.
But cancer is rare at your age, benign causes are more. If symptoms are persisting get an endoscopy.
Next Steps
Mention blood colour. Time point of blood passing (before motion, during motion, after motion)
Health Tips
Persisting symptoms: Get UGI endoscopy and colonoscopy
