What kind of bleeding does colon polyps/ cancer show?
besides occult (invisible) blood, i have heard of colon cancer and polyps causing bleeding, besides the other symptoms like diahrea and constipation and very thin stools like pencils…..i have also had a family member who had a polyp and bled ALOT in the toilet….supposeldy this is also the case with cancer but i was just wondering if most cases with this type of cancer bleed in that fashion, besides the tarry black sludge like stools that are also common….i was just wondering
blood in your stool
this doesn’t sound like cancer. polyps will cause bleeding though as well as fissures and hemmoroids. However, what you describe sounds liek Crohn’s disease. (I got it…I should know!) I suggest going to a gastroentrologist asap!
