I took a poop and realized that there was blood in my stool,im only 15 and even though I don't have the symptoms,i just want to be sure. This has happened to me before last year,the doctor told me that i could have been forcing,but i never really have to strain to poop. Im worried a little bit,and I just wanted to know if it was possible that i could have colon cancer.

I doubt if you have colon cancer, but I (like most of the people who answer these questions) do not have the background to answer this question with any authority. If you are still in school, go to see the school nurse. The nurse has the kind of training to answer your questions and can help you find someone who has the medical background to take the time to answer your questions in a way that you will find helpful. I would like to tell you to see your doctor, but most doctors are so busy that they do not have the time to sit with you and answer these kinds of questions. If you are out of school, contact your clinic. Perhaps your clinic has a nurse practitioner or a physicians' assistant who can give you the time you need to understand this kind of symptom. It can occur for any number of reasons other than cancer. Good luck.

Sounds to me like a digestive problem. My little cousin who is 13 had that. Hers was ok. I'm sure you are to. Just go to a doctor again and have it checked out. Good luck.
