Fear of colon cancer.
Hi doctor,
Due to my hypochondria anxieties, I have started fear of rectum or colon cancer since few days. I use to have itching or burning sensation after passing stool. There is no blood while passing stool and no blood while wiping anus after passing stool. Now I have started wiping my anus multiple times a day to check if any blood is coming or not. I have seen 2-4 red dots sometime on tissue paper along with stool strains. It is dot size of niddle tip. I am really scared. Please guide. Does this could rectum or colon cancer ? I do not have other symtoms.

No it means, you are having anal fissure
It's when the mucosa tears due to tight stools.
Cancers in GIT can be avoided by having a fiber rich diet.
Try to have curd, 4litre water per day and increase consumption of fruits and vegetables.
You should be fine.
Lot of people experience anal fissure, so you are not alone. Just avoid constipation by a good diet.
You are good to go
