Scared seeing the blood
I have been experiencing constipation on and off since 2021 and usually pass stools once every 3 days. I did not take it seriously earlier which is my blunder mistake .
A few days ago, I noticed blood in my stool on two occasions. The first time it was bright red and mixed with stool, and the second time there was less blood. I do not have other symptoms like abdominal pain or loose motions.
This has made me anxious and worried about serious causes such as colon cancer. I would like to know the possible reasons, how to distinguish them, and what tests may be needed. Please also advise on managing chronic constipation.
