hello, I have read your question thoroughly.

Severe diarrhoea with blood have many possibilities( differential diagnosis) but the chance of having a cancer is least likely, taking into account your age which is 32 years. Cancer at this age is almost negligible, so you don't need to worry too much about it.

The possible causes include: Inflammatory bowel disease( ulcerative colitis most probably), An infection of intestines and a non specific colitis.

As you have had abnormal cells in your stool tests so the best way to proceed would be to investigate the cause. investigations could include: Blood tests, a complete stool examination, a colonoscopy, an ultrasound abdomen, an X-ray abdomen and serology.

You need to make an appointment with your physician and could ask for investigations. you need not to worry, bloody diarrhoea is a common problem and it has got very good treatment response.

I hope you found this helpful.

If any further questions you can write to me any time.

Best regards
