They can’t tell whether there is a stool.Early colon cancer bleeding may not be obvious. Routine stools will be found to be positive. At this time, it should be paid attention.
There are also some rare diseases that cause blood in the stool:
For example, the colon family polyps have a lot to do with inheritance. It is rare and can cause blood in the stool. The stool is dark red. As the number of stools increases, blood and stool are mixed;
