If I am bleeding during bowel movement, is this the symptom of colon cancer? I have been noticing blood in the stool after bowel movement and this has happened few times recently and is this early stage of colon cancer?

Colon cancers can be present in the body for several years before you can notice any sign of symptoms. Some of the symptoms associated with colon cancer may include constipation, narrow stools, blood in the stool, and rectal pain. The only way to be certain is to have colon cancer screening which is used to detect colon cancer. There are three types of test than can be performed and these include colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and barium enema x-ray.
Colonoscopy use a flexible tube with tiny camera attached, the tube is inserted into the colon through the anus and the doctor can examined internal colons for sign of cancer.
Sigmoidoscopy also use a flexible tube with tiny camera attached, the tube is inserted into the colon through the anus and the doctor can examined internal colons for sign of cancer.
Barium enema x-ray involves the use of barium liquid and x-ray to detect cancer in the colon.
Once the cancer has been detected, ultrasound and CT scan can be use to determine the stages of the cancer.
