Is blood in stool always cancer?

[puzzledlass]

Like, are there any statistics which cover this as well?

Every once in awhile Ill have a major poo and there will be blood in on my tp from a fissure. If you see blood don't poo again from shock. Percentage is on your side.

I went this morning and there was a smear of blood on the toilet paper I panicked big time but I thought it was down to straining in the end

Someone else posted about this, and I found a website that listed, I can't remember, but about eleven different conditions that can cause blood in stools, and most of them weren't dangerous.

Blood in stool is rarely cancer to be honest unless it is dried/black blood then it needs looking at.

The most common cause of blood in stool is hemorrhoids. That is the absolute most common! I get it time to time as well.
