I’m 23 years old, no family history of colon cancer, non smoker.

About a year ago I was very constipated and had trouble passing a larger stool. After, I developed what I though were hemorrhoids or a fissure. I would go to the bathroom and feel a very quick sharp pain followed by a tiny bit of blood on the tissue when I would wipe.

This happened on and off for quite some time but has not happened in the last few months.

About 3 weeks ago I started noticing my stools have been much looser than normal. The amount has not increased. I go once a day and it’s basically really soft and breaks into maybe 5-7 pieces in the water. They are usually soft but not that soft.

I went to the doctor. She did a rectal exam as well as a FOBT test (tested stool for blood). The FOBT was negative and my rectal exam checked out fine.

She said she though it might be a mild virus or IBS and is having me change my diet a little. I did but it hasn’t helped much. Although I’ve been very worried this past week.

I’v been reading so much into this. About people being misdiagnosed, the FOBT being wrong, people getting this cancer young. It’s really got me TERRIFIED.

Do you think this is cancer or not? I have no other symptoms.

Sorry this is going to be a bit gross but thank you for your time.

I am 19 and have no history of colon cancer or really cancer in my family.

For the past 3 months I have been having thin stool/flat stool. There was no blood I could see.

I decided to really change my diet over the weekend and started taking benefiber. My stool were very healthy looking. This morning I had ribbon shaped stool.

Another thing to ad I am a bit of a hypochondriac and I really was straining last week and gave myself hemroids.

I went to the bathroom again and there was a tiny bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper and small amounts in the stool.

I am going to the doctor today but please I am scared out of my mind. What do you think?

I am 17 years old. I work out often, don’t eat red meat and my diet consists of mainly fiber. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( the condition in which you’re constipated). I get full easily, have stomach cramps, have a hard time with bowel movements, and I always feel tired. Lately, I have been losing weight but I’ve felt bloated too. Just today, I found blood in my stool. Since my family has a history of colon cancer, I’m really scared that I have it too. But I’m so young!! Can someone help me out?!

I have slightly norrower than normal crap for the last couple days. Do I have colon cancer?

I have been having these god awful, cramp/spam like pains in my rectal and vaginal wall area. I don’t know what triggers it but today it keeps worsening with movement, usually increased pressure like sitting down. Also causes spasms if I strain, like trying to pass gas or something. The pain is so severe I have to very slowly sir and let it peak and pass. The pain is mostly around my rectal area but it definitely travels to what feels like the walls of my vagina. I think it is proctalgia fugax but I’ve had this pain when I sit down for the past six hours…… I’ve had it before and its ranged from one spasm to long episodes like these. I’m currently on my period but idk if that has anything to do with it!

My fam has a history of colon cancer, and my mom is all scared that I have it. I’m 20 and currently adjusting to a vegan diet, so I have a lot of abdominal troubles. I don’t have any other symptoms of colorectal cancer so I’m not super worried. Do you think this is proctalgia fugax? Or is it something else causing these issues?

I do have benign ovarian cysts and I get odd cramps (nothing like these sharp shooting pains) after sex/orgasm. Someone mentioned the cysts causing this kind of pain, but I don’t know that truth behind that. The only thing that doesn’t really fit with what people have said about proctalgia fugax is pursue and massage deceases pain, but it increases it for me! Its excruciating at the peak of the spasms please help. I’m going to try to squeeze in a visit to the doc next week but at the same time I’m sort of afraid to go.

Sorry the post is a little incoherent. Typing on my phone. Hurts too much to get up >.<
Hmm youre right, it may be the stress, tho not from this issue. With combo of things today was so stressful for me I felt nauseated most of the time. I don’t usually get so stressed so today wa something new and this is the longest these pains have lasted. Thanks I’ll hopefully see this gone by tomorrow, at least for another few months.

But, the cramping from the cysts is very, very different from this pain >.< I found a forum where a lot of people experience exactly what I’m describing but no one had any answers.

First off I’m 23 years old. No family history of Colon Cancer.

A year ago I got really constipated. I had a really tough time passing my stool. I finally passed it and immediately after I developed what I thought were hemorrhoids. When I would go to the bathroom I would get a split second sharp pain and when I wiped there would be just a tiny bit of blood on the tissue.

That eventually slowed down and it hasn’t happened in a moth or so. Two weeks ago I developed looser than normal stools. I wasn’t going to the bathroom more or anything, my stools were just very loose. I had no other symptoms. Felt perfectly fine.

I went to the doctor yesterday. I told her all my symptoms. She did a rectal exam as well as tested my stool for blood. She said the rectal exam looked good. No signs of any hemorrhoids or anything. My stool also tested negative for blood.

She said she didn’t suspect I had cancer at all and told me other things that it might be. At this point i’m doing the BRAT diet to see what happens.

Do you think this could still be colon cancer. I have really bad anxiety so I’m naturally worried.

17 year old female.
since november i have been having blood on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. not alot, and its bright red. only once has it been on the stool itself. all other times its just on the paper. Also i have had to strain more than usual and there is some pain with the straining. also the stool usualy comes out in medium sizes balls. the color is normal.

i started taking miralx and the problem got 100 percent better. the stool was in one long piece and it was soft and there was no pain and no blood. and no straining. them once i stopped taking miralx the problem came back. my family has a history of IBS (iratable bowel syndrome) but no history of colon cancer at all.

also i have a very healthy diet, not overweight, a month ago i started drinking 8 glasses of water a day because before that i would drink only about 2. the increases water has not really helped. i exercise fairly regularly too.

there is no stomach pain associated with this problem.
also i generally have always had harder stools.

what could this be? colon cancer? IBS? anal fissures? hemorrhoids?

Am I worrying too much about colon cancer?
Over the past 4 months, I’ve had a range of different bowel movements. Some have been fat and roundish; others have been thin and flat. Would I be seeing that range if you had colon cancer.

So is it a problem if I went from not being able to #### for a day, to have something like but not really direria?

I normally #### at once a day…

I have recently been diagnosed with postviral gastroparesis. Although I am tolerating the low fat low diet fairly well (oh how I miss fresh veggies and loathe baby food!), I have developed a strong tendency towards constipation. I believe this is due to the "low fiber" part of my diet. I am a little concerned about this because of a strong family history of colon cancer, and fiber is said to help prevent it… What can I eat or take to relieve the constipation?

I have UC and a history of colon cancer in my family. After seeing what they went through I don’t feel its worth spending my life savings just to go through that mess. My family says they understand my wishes. Is there anyway I can make sure nobody forces me to get treatment?

I am a 46-yo female with the following symptoms: Unintended weight loss (20% of body weight over 6 months), night sweats, easy bruising, fatigue, persistent diarrhea, low-grade fever that comes and goes, very susceptible to viruses. There is a family history of colon cancer. I had a colonoscopy 14 months ago that was fine.

My doctor ordered blood work which came back normal, a chest xray that I don’t have the results of yet, and a CT scan of the abdomen. The CT findings and conclusion were as follows:

In findings: "There is a segment of the distal ascending colon showing poor luminal distensionand possible soft tissue wall thickening."
Conclusion: "There is a potentially abnormal segment of the ascending colon just proximal to the hepatic flexure. A malignant mass is the primary concern, although a focal area of colitis must also be considered."

As a result, my doctor has referred me to a colorectal surgeon, but I have been waiting for a week to hear back on an appointment.

Can anyone help me interpret the CT findings/conclusion?

I am 32 year old healthy female, vegetarian for 17 years. no history of colon cancer in family. I sometimes get this quick sharp or dull pain in my rectum. I have never had blood in my stool or black stool. i have not lost any weight and have not lost my appetite at all. I have also had normal blood work twice in the last 10 months……can this be rectal or colon cancer?

When I DID have insurance, I asked for one and my doctor said no. She wouldn’t even examine my colon maybe because I don’t fall into the stereotype of the older male patient who get VIP treatment.

Anyway, lately I see little drops of blood from my behind and things just don’t feel right back there, plus I have a family history of colon cancer. I currently no longer have health insurance. Can I just walk into a hospital and request a colon cleanse and if so how much out of pocket would it cost?
