Blood in the stool needs to be checked out ASAP. It could be just a sign of internal bleeding or it could be cancer. Most likely you are just bleeding from somewhere but either way you need to go see the doc and get it checked out. Not having a period for over a month is probably because you are ill and stressed out.

i don't know if it could be or not but you should really go to the doctor to see. My aunt found out she had colon cancer a week ago and they did surgery bout 4 hours ago and while they were in there they found out that the cancer has taken over her liver and in her blood and other places. She has had cancer for a while now and didn't even know it. She has to go to Chemo and if that doesn't get rid of the other cancer there is nothing else they can do. She found she had colon cancer by a mistake so since u think u might have it I would really go get it checked out, you don't want it to spread if you do.

get to your doctor and have a stool sample done. you shouldn't be bleeding rectally....he could check to see if there are hemorrhoids.... You might have been constipated for a bit and developed internal hemorrhoids which have broken open whenyou had a bm. the cramping could have been from built up gas .... ....

If you're having bloody stool you should see a doctor. I just had to get a colonoscopy because I had blood after bowel movements. They did it, and ruled out colon cancer. But everyone is different and if you have a family history of it, then it may have more of a chance of being a possibility. But the only way to know is to see a doctor, and the sooner the better. Good luck and im sure you'll be ok : )

Hi i am a nurse in the state of S.C. What you have discribed can be s/s of colon cancer.And the fact that your monthly periods have stopped gives me greater concern there is also a family history of cancer PLEASE seek medical attention. Colon cancer is one of the easiest to treat IF caught early.Ovarien ca. on the other hand is harder ,so please go to see a doctor as soon as you can take care of yourself Searching

Do not panic and don't make any assumptions either way. See a doctor about your concerns, this isn't the place for serious medical advice. We all mean well but every person is different- only a professional that you see in person is able to give you any meaningful information in a circumstance like this.

With a grandmother with cc at an early age, and your symptoms - I would definitely get a colonoscopy. Do not settle for a barium enima or flex sigmodoscopy as they are not good test for cc. I was diagnosed with advance stage IV cc Jan 2006 at the age of 40. Do not let your doctor ignore your concerns. Wendy www.wendysbattle.com

Normally there is no pain associated with colon cancer unless there is a blockage, the blood can be from several sources and depending upon how much blood you have in your stools could be the cause of you missed periods. I would make an appointment with your doctor with out delay, I wouldn't worry about anything until you know for sure, even if the news is bad, just resolve to beat it. I did 36 years ago

are you sure the blood is from your stool? you could be having your period, and no, it more than likely isnt cancer, but go to the doctor to make sure.
