FOB Tests Shows 1 Out Of 6 Positive Is It Early Cancer?
Question: Hi, 42 male. No family history. I done 2 seperate FOB tests over a couple of weeks. 1 out of 6 were positive. I have hemorrhoids which were bleeding during the positive test. No other symptoms. Have been told most likely just hemorrhoids. I’m waiting to do a colonoscopy. Bloods tests all normal. Is it likely nothing serious? Just have anxiety and it plays on my mind.
I go regularly once a day early morning. Most of time ok but sometimes if I don’t feel quite ready I’ll go and feel like I’m finished and when I wipe soft stools keep coming out. Is this anything serious? Just had me worried it has something to do with the other. Could it be I’m just not fully ready? Diet? Early morning? Nothing to do with the other? Not likely cancer?

Brief Answer:
Go for colonoscopy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Bleeding is because of hemorrhoids.
Bleeding in cancer is massive and is accompanied by very very severe pain.
You can start using prep-H over hemorrhoids locally.
However once colonoscopy is done grades and location of hemorrhoids would be clear.
Don't Google too much, Unnecessary information is too much there.
Thanks.
