Hey,
When I went to use the toilet today I noticed some blood in my stool. It came out as a liquid in the bowl, but a little bit on the stool itself if I recall correctly. As I wiped the blood got less and less until I couldnt see it anymore (I went back ten minutes later to wipe some more, and found no more blood). The only other symptom I have is a dull ache in what appears to be inside my anus.
Im really concerned about the ramifications this could have. I know Totalbiscuit, a well known youtuber, just died from colon cancer and experienced his first symptoms with anal bleeding. My dad told me to wait for a second occurrence to go to the doctor, but I feel concerned and would still be worried about it even if it goes away.
I should also add that I know rectal itching and diarrhea can be symptoms too. About a week ago I had a bad case of rectal itching that had me going back to wipe every two minutes or so for abut 15 minutes until I decided to put up with it. Never had that before, was weird at the time. Also, yesterday at the gym I felt the need to use the toiler sorta out of nowhere (I knew I had to use the toilet a some point soon, but it got really intense quickly.) I managed to make it home, but it was about an hour later and I couldnt hold it anymore. While it wasnt full diarrhea, it was definitely mushy.
I know internal hemerhoids can be painless, but colon cancer and other stuff can be too. Please help if you can, I really have no idea what to do. Thanks.
