Hi im 18 and for the past few days iv had stools with streaks of blood on the surface. Can i have hemmorhoids? The reason why I ask is bcause i know that blood on the stool is a serious symptom and can mean colon cancer, but i think i heard that tis uncommon for my age....Anyway, the stools look normal usually and normal in color, just that in some places there have been small streaks of blood on the surface.. Thjis really made me panicc but i also thought of the possibility of a hemmorhoid, since after i wiped, i was very itchy and when i wiped again fresh blood was on the paper which made me think that the blood was added to the stool on the way out due to a hemmorhoid i might not know about..Anyways i reallly just wnated to see some opinions, and try to ease my mind...thanks
