Could it be a hemorrhoid?

Could it be a hemorrhoid?

I am a 32 year old female, slightly overweight.... I do not have many digestive problems other than heart burn.  Tonight I had a bit of a runny stool with spots of bright red blood. I am really freaking out over it. I will make an appointment to see my doctor in the morning but of course the first thing that comes to mind is Colon Cancer... I have no other symptoms, has anyone else ever experienced this?
Thank you....

My doc found an internal hemmorhoid....  She gave me a sapository and said it should clear up shortly. Still scared though :s Just my health anxiety I guess.

Yes, I know the feeling. Try not to worry, anxiety never helps. And it seems you have little to worry about: internal hemorrhoids are easily treatable and, as far as I know, less painful than external hemorrhoids. Meanwhile, improve your diet and your lifestyle, drink lots of water and follow your doctor's instructions. Good luck!
