Could Bleeding From Anus While Walking Be Related To Hemorrhoids And Colon Cancer?

my butt bleeds when i walk around the block.while i walk around the block i start to feel a wet feeling between my cheeks and when i get home i go to the restroom and wipe my butt to find a whole lot of blood on the toilet paper. i looked this up and there are two main causes to this, one is hemorrhoids and the other is Colan cancer. i do not have pains when i poop or sit or anything like that so i dunno if its hemorrhoids, are there any signs to indecate it might be cancer? i would go to a doctor to get this looked at but i do not have a income and do not have money to spend on a doctors visit.

Your concern is completely justified. Bleeding from the anus particularly if painless, is a symptom that should be taken seriously. In the young (less than 40 years) it is more commonly due to hemorrhoids, while in the older patients it is more commonly due to colon cancer. But this is not hard and fast and it can be the other way round also. So all such patients should immediately visit a surgeon and preferably a cancer surgeon. If money is a problem then you can visit a government hospital where they wont charge you.
