Blood in stool
Hi I have noticed blood in stool and it's not first time before also I have noticed many times in 10 to 15 years of period. Doctor gave medicine as now observed dark stool and he said this is due to digest blood and gave medicine for 10 days more also have upper abdomen pain in centre. As I had ultrasound before 2.5 months back and nothing was observed only fatty liver also had CBC test before 1 month it was also negative. Is it possible to have cancer as symptoms are same of colon cancer. By mistake I googled things now I am afraid. Please help

[ ] Hi if this bleed is not associated with pain than is generally due to piles and quantity of blood should be more. If this is associated with pain and quantity is less than this is due to fissure. At times there may be sigmoid colitis which leads to cramping lower abdominal pain and may cause passage of blood in stool. Other rare causes are presence oflpolyp growth Or a malignant growth. You should avoid constipation, as this is the cause for piles/ Fissure. it's better to get evaluated , a short scopy done to rule out the underline problem. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. feel free to ask any further quary.Take care.
