Red streaks in stool.

[scared88]

28 y/o male. I just passed a relatively hard stool, it wasn't painful but it wasn't smooth and I did feel it coming out more than usual.
I then caught a glimpse of it and I noticed what looked like a red streak along the side of it and I'm worried about colon cancer. I didn't see anything on the other little dollops that came out with it and it wasn't there either the last time I moved my bowels, I think, which was a more normal stool. Also when wiping earlier I didn't see anything on the paper.

Hemmie or fissure or a slight tear from straining is all. Certainly not cancer IMO. And FYI... had it happen for the last two days myself... bloody water even! I'm not concerned in the least

Positive thoughts and poo threads

I've had that happen to me multiple times and a colorectal surgeon has confirmed fissures on me. So I personally wouldn't worry at all.

It happened to me a couple of months ago just a little fissure.

Not to highjack this thread, but I have seen some blood a few days ago for a few days, but I haven't seen it since. Is that a good sign?
