What Causes Constipation And Bloody Stool?

Hello, I have been having usually weird situations in the bathroom lately. For the past 3 weeks I would say I have constipated on and off going 3 days without using the bathroom. Two days ago I used the bathroom and it really hurt, the toilet was filled with blood and my stool was green with blood in it. I did some research and it said I had cancer so now I m scared. And today when using the bathroom I felt pain and I was still constipated, my stool was also fizzing a lot. Do you have any ideas to what it could be? Thank you

Welcome to Healthcare magic . Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Firstly not all rectal bleeding is due to cancer.
There are plenty of other reasons like anal fissure , external haemarrhoids , inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
You need to have a colonoscopy done to confirm this.

Do not panic.

WHat I would suggest you is to
1. Drink loads of water
2. Have a diet rich in fibres
3. I would start syrup Lactulose at bed time.
4. Get a blood haemoglobin,total count ,platelet done to see the blood loss

Visit a doctor with the reports. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.
