    Blood in my stool?
    Hi again I recently noticed that my stool started to smell much differnet then it usually does, like kind of like the smell of an old persons house, and today I noticed some blood on the toilet paper? I looked up a little bit about it online and it said it might be bowel cancer? I know that its rare in people my age but the smell is what really concerned me. It also said that it may be other things much less serious but I thought it would be really helpful to actually talk to someone about it.

    Don't go scaring yourself. It can be many things.
    The best thing would be go to the doctors and have it checked

    Was it bright red blood? Only on the toilet paper? Have you been constipated recently? Was the stool hard? How old are you?

    It could be nothing more than a small tear or hemorrhoid caused by constipation if it is bright red blood.

    I'm 21, the stool was soft and yes it was only on the toilet paper and it was bright red blood but it was slightly coagulated? I went today and their was none.
