At your age the chance of blood in the stool being cancerious is almost nil. Still you have a problem that needs to be addressed. You could have just a minor problem but don't let this go. Get a Doctor to check things out and give you better advise than I can. Good luck

It is most likely hemmerhoids but a bleeding hemmerhoid should be checked by a doctor as well. Only a doctor can determine if it is a minor problem or if it requires more thorough testing. Make an appointment today.

For h'roids or cancer?
For hemmerhoids pain, burning sensation and itching are the most common other than the blood. For cancer often times there are no or few symptoms. If a round of hemmerhoid cream does not lessen bleeding in a week then it is definatly time to call for a doc's appointment.
