Could Grainy Stools And External Growth In Rectum Be Due To Cancer?

Hello Dr. I am a 34 year old woman with a family history of colon cancer. I have had 2 colonoscopy s in the past 8 years and I will be getting another one in the next few days. In my last two procedures they did find polyps and they were removed. I was 26 years old when they performed the first colonoscopy. I have had loose stools with no odor, diarreha, and narrow stools. I have also had grainy like stools. I do bleed after I use the bathroom and there is a growth coming out of my rectum. I have been feeling cramps and stomach pains, especially after I go to the bathroom. I have lost weight in the past 3 weeks and I haven t been able to digest anything. Can it be possible that I may have cancer?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you are having family history of colon cancer, possibility of malignancy can not be denied.
So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done clinical examination. There are two possibilities in your case
1. Prolapse of rectum.
2. Rectal mass which is coming out.
So clinical examination and biopsy is needed for the diagnosis. Also get done Colonoscopy to rule out internal damage.
In my opinion it seems prolapse of rectum more.
