I'm not going to go into conspiracies with this, I've already seen two pretty well-known men die under 40 (the age men are told to start getting regular colonoscopies) from colon cancer (TotalBiscuit and Billy Kametz).
Do a home test. Seriously. It's cheap, and though maybe a bit disgusting to perform, can put your mind at ease for a few years, no need for a colonoscopy.
It's no replacement for a proper colonoscopy, but one of the early signs of cancer is fresh blood in the stool because your shit is scraping against a growing polyp or tumor.
You'd know if it were hemorrhoids via your itchy, inflamed anus and painful inability to sit down.
Colon cancer is a silent killer; there's no pain or symptoms in the early stages other than the sense that something is irregular with your usual shits. That's why testing is critical since colon cancer is very survivable if found early.
There's a number of reasons for that not just men that put on makeup for nights out with "friends".
Crohn’s disease in the colon (large intestine) or rectum is more likely to cause blood in or on the stool. You can also develop blood in your stool if you have an anal fissure or a hemorrhoid. Anal fissures are small painful tears or sores in the lining of the anus.
The question is also what do you do if it turns up there's blood especially in socialized healthcare countries.

Could you link a resource before someone asks you to give more details?

The home test I used some time back was from Pinnacle Biolabs.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was cheaper to buy a camera and stuff it up there or swallow a wireless minicam.
Just saw that pblabs link it measures blood presumably. How do people know it even works properly?

That's also caused by hemorrhoids which are increased by sitting on your ass all day.
