Blood in Stool, Slight Burning
by marko, Jun 11, 2001 12:00AM
Here are some symptoms that very alarming. I have recently began seeing a little blood in my stool (in the last 6 months), at first it was just a little, but suddenly it is much more visible. The stool is fairly loose, most recently. I have fairly low-level burning sensation at the low intenstine (close to the rectum) after a bowel movement. I have a polyp at the opening of the rectum, and have had it for a long time. Lastly, there is a slight pain (a dull pain) in my lower back. I frequently have heartburn, too. My obvious concern is colon cancer, as cancer has been in my family. Do these symptoms add up to something tangible?
