Response from Dr. Dezube
 There's obviously no way for me to know from your query whether or not you have anal cancer. However, any change in your stool should be checked out. The first step would be see your primary care provider. Further steps will depend upon what (s)he finds. Often a referral to a gastroenterologist or an anal specialist are necessary. It may be necessary to have someone look up your bottom to find out what's going on. There are so many things that can affect that part of the anatomy (e.g. warts, cancer, dysplasia, hemorrhoids, infections, fissures, fistulas, and so on). It's best to get it checked out. |
