“Why is there red in my stool”
I haven’t had any medication. I just keep seeing red in my stool, I don’t know if it’s blood. It’s freaking me out! I worry I have colon cancer please help! The only symptom seems to be red in stool and sometimes urgencies to go poop. But, no pain, I’m scared that it’s in it’s early stage but, don’t know for sure

Do you have any diarrhea? Colon cancer is less likely due to you age but can be colitis of some sort. I would talk to your provider and be evaluated
There are many possible causes for red or blood in the stool. This includes simple as eating lots of beets, or a hemorrhoid to possible allergies, and signs of intestinal malfunction. I would recommend you see your primary care provider as soon as possible
