A 37-year-old engineer frequently experiencing bloody stools was misdiagnosed with hemorrhoids and treated with ointments. After six months, he was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer that had spread to the abdominal cavity, ultimately leading to his death. The doctor warns that the presence of blood in the stool should not always be assumed to be hemorrhoids and urges people to promptly undergo colonoscopies for accurate diagnosis, highlighting the importance of early detection as colon cancer often presents no symptoms until later stages.
