I have been experiencing narrow stools, particularly the first stool of a bowel movement, which is concerning me for potential rectal cancer or metastasis. I also have a prolapsed uterus. Should I be worried about rectal cancer or metastasis, and could the prolapsed uterus be causing or exacerbating these symptoms?

I have occasional stomach pains, almost like indigestion, and occasional blood in my stool. I've been in pain for the past week, no vomiting or nausea. I am 37 and male, experiencing minor constipation and hard stool, and believe the blood in my stool is from an anal fissure due to pain during bowel movements. I've also had occasional itching during bowel movements and have taken a Z-Pak for potential infection. Additionally, I woke up three nights this week with a strong pain in my upper stomach, like intense indigestion, and worry it's an ulcer or gastritis. I have been drinking more than usual, no more stress than usual, and no pain immediately after eating meals, but experienced heartburn after a couple sips of coffee.
