Bleeding in the anal region after passing stools, blood tests, camera exam  normal. Chances of bowel cancer?
Patient: Hi my husband is experiencing bleeding when going to the toilet? ive asked him if its in his stools or just on the toilet paper? he thinks just the paper but, cant be sure. He went to the doctors yesterday and the doctor has done blood tests and sent for a camera examination, he did an internal examination and found nothing irregular but, is looking on the chance of bowl cancer? He has had no pain? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for query, First of all we have to decide that blood in stool is there or not? You need stool examination to confirm it. As camera & internal examination does not  reveals any abnormality the chances of blood coming from Large intestine arises.There were several condition causes bleeding from large intestine like IBS ,Amoebiasis,Enteritis any pathological lesion etc. So go for stool examination first. thanks.
