Brief Answer:
There are other causes of blood in poo.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Blood in stools could be due to simple causes like Haemorrhoids , Anal fissure or some non cancerous mass in rectum or due to bleeding disorders.

It need not always be Cancer, so just relax.

I advise you to consult your doctor and get per rectal examination . It will show if there is any Haemorrhoids or Anal fissure. If it is normal he shall advise for a scan called Colonoscopy which will detect the cause of bleeding .

Don't worry , just get examined.

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
