Hi selena551,
Bleeding per rectum could be due to various reasons like hemorrhoids, polyps, IBD and cancer.Cancer is uncommon at 20 years of age.
Since you have a family history of cancer, you come under high risk group and a regular examination is needed.
Colonoscopy should be done to find out the cause of blood and mucus in stool
