Bleeding in the stools can be a sign of cancer and should be referred to a doctor.
Most bleeding in stools is not cancer. Most cases are swollen hemorrhoid veins leaking, or excess roughage in the diet irritating the colon. Often blood in the stool occurs with overuse of aspirin or ibuprofen. Prolonged vomiting spells, pregnancy, etc., can also cause this.
This is also a symptom for very bad ulcers. It can be a symptom of liver damage from alcohol abuse.
A doctor visit is called for.
