Stool, as the discharge of undigested food and bacteria from the body, is not only about excretion, but it also indicates a lot about the health of the body. The wide spread of cancer and inflammation causes bleeding in the digestive tract. This bleeding can be seen in the stools. At first the bleeding is not visible with the naked eye, but as the cancer reaches its advanced stage, the blood can be clearly seen. This blood is an indication of internal bleeding. The blood in the stool also results in low blood count which causes anemia. A sample test of stool can be used for the purpose of determining cancer.
