no, not to worry you but, but to answer your questions...  internal bleeding can be caused by "VARISES" breaking open... Varises are enlarged veins ready to burst from improper blood flow... they are caused by portal hyper tension/related to cirhosis. look up Portal Hyper Tension and Varises "after" you call the doctor or emergency room...

my prayers are with you friend, i pray its nothing serious...it may be nothing at all, but it's always better safe than sorry... ya know?

no not to worry you it could be other things but with liver disease this is the thing you look for...

CALL AND GO! NEVER MESS WITH BLEEDING OUT!

Since you ask, most likely it's not colon cancer, but that is one possible symptom of it. More likely it could be caused by bleeding polyps inside your colon, which can become cancerous over a long period of time if not attended to. However colon polyps can usually be removed pretty routinely and safely. Obviously hemorroids can also cause blood in your stool. There may be other possible causes, but those are the one's I know about. Not trying to scare you, and we aren't doctors here, but like the others say just get it checked out asap to find out where you stand.

You need to call your doctor and tell him about this right away. Best if you are seen soon. It could be something minor or it could be something more dramatic. You should get it checked out. Don't ignore it.
