Bright red blood is usually from tearing.
I think the blood from colon cancer would be very dark and coagulated.
It also really depends where the tumor is located. If its higher up in the colon, then the blood will be darker. But if it's more to towards the end or the sigmoid it can still be red.
I have IBD and it's located in the sigmoid. My stool can be pretty damn red sometimes
Any chance you know what it means when the blood is sporadic in timing and volume, and has no discernable cause, but is also red.
Hemorrhoids almost certainly
Internal hemorrhoids make sense, although nothing seems to trigger it and I don't feel any pain. Most of the time I don't even realize until I look in the toilet. It happens so randomly. The doctors initially thought it was bacterial ulcers because they didn't feel anything during the examinations. I've never had a colonoscopy only rectal examinations.
Dunno, not really a doctor. Some medications can cause bloody stools and there's also internal hemorrhoids, which don't hurt but can cause bleeding. It can be a lot of things!
Recurring bleeding is still cause for seeing a doctor regardless of what it is, though.
I've been going to doctors for it since I was like 16. No one's been able to pinpoint the cause yet, but thank you for your insight!
