Traces of blood in excrement?
Hi,
I recently noticed that I have traces of blood in my excrement. The volume of blood differs from time to time.
What can this be? Am I dying of colon cancer or something?

Concerned, the most common cause of blood in the stool is probably haemorrhoids, but it can be due to something more serious like cancer. The best would be to see your doctor and have him make sure that it’s not something serious. Good luck.
