Is diarrhea  with bleeding symptoms of cancer?
Patient: I have had diarrea for 5wks. It then improved but began to bleed.My doctor has taken blood and there are no nasty bugs and I am waiting to see if there are cancer markers.There is cancer in all of my mothers sided of the family.If the diarrea has eased could it still be cancer? Doctor: Severe inflamation in intestines can also cause bleeding while passing stools.Any bleeding while passing stools shoul be evaluated as it is a sign of cancer.Since you have a family history i strongly suggest you toGet a colonoscopy to ruleout cancer. Meet a gastroenterologist.
