Blood In Stool (Colon / Bowel Cancer REASSURANCE Thread)

[ZanVaelius]

Was the polyp low down?

It was in the rectum. Still waiting for the histological results, though the doctor who did the procedure states it was likely hyperplastic and of no clinical significance. He did not even prescribe me any specific diet after the removal.

This has helped settle my mind somewhat!
Last week I went to the toilet and the blood was awful sure there were some clots in there too! Covered the tissue, and the bowl was bright red! Hasn't happened again until last night. Lots of blood on tissue, not so much in the bowl but streaks on my poo (sorry TMI)
I am freaking out! I have had blood before from a tear (used to get really constipated) but dont ever remember this much blood.
Read something this morning and internal bleeding and it sent me spiralling.
I'm 32 and so scared
