Can Bloody Stool And Rectal Bleeding Be Due To Cancer?

i sometimes get bright red blood on tissue & in stool when i have been to the toilet. i have been to the doctors about this several times & had 3 colonscopys. on these occaisions the doctors have guessed that i've had a fissure but havent found anything conclusive. ive changed my diet but it always happens again, particularly in times of stress. im going to go to the doctors again but im terrified this is cancer and its not being picked up. are there any sure fire ways of ruling cancer out?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have bright red bleeding. So you may have bleeding from lower gastrointestinal tract. It is mostly due to fissure or piles. You should go for rectal examination, ultrasound abdomen and colonoscopy. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
