I am 33 year old, mother to a 3.5 year old..a few months after having vaginal delivery in 2021, i having been facing the problem of occasional rectal bleeding..like i had it when my stool felt little hard and i had to strain to pass it..this would happen for 3-4 days and then i took laxatives and then the bleeding would slowly subside..the bleeding would occur in a few months gap and has been inconsistent..i also have gallstones..the last time I had bleeding was 2 months ago and now today morning i noticed some bright red blood while passing stool, but the stool was normal..it was not as hard as earlier and i didn't strain a lot, still i got blood in my bowel..10 mins afterwards, i again went to pass the stool twice but didnt see any blood on wiping.. now at night, after eating dal rice, i have been having bad stomach cramps and passed mildly loose stools twice..i got to know that can also be symptoms of colon cancer and have been panicking since morning. Cud it be due to gallstones?
