Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Blood In Stool
Hi. I have been having trouble with pooping for a long time now. It's not every day. It comes and goes away. But sometimes it gets worse. I have had blood in it a few times too. I didn't take it seriously. But now I'm worried that it's cancer. sometimes I feel like a needle is poking my butt from the inside. It's one particular spot in my anus. I'm just worried. Could it be cancer?

hai,
Blood in stools is not always cancer.
Poor bowel habit and hard stools,constipation,internal piles will all lead to blood in stools.
constipation can be treated with good hydration and fiber food in routine day practice.but for chronic blood in stool problem should be addressed.
kindly visit a gastroenterologist for a thorough examination and colonoscopy for(if needed) to rule out the cause behind your problem.
stay healthy
