HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, blood stain stool has got the several reason and every one of it needs differentiation and for that numbers of test needs to be done but most common would be constipation and due to that fissure and hemorrhoids can takes place second is infection and these are the common condition seen, now for the cancer it can only be diagnosed with different test and just symptoms or clinical examination can not rule this out hope this information helps.
