Signs of Prostate Cancer

Posts Tagged ‘colon’

Well I’m only 13 but my family has a history of colon cancer and the last BM I had kind of scared me. Its only happened once so far but after I wiped there was a ton of bright red blood. I was wondering if this was a sign of anything related to colon cancer?

I’ve been having this problem for awhile now and its pretty gross. It is the same symptoms of colon cancer but i only get it while im on my period. I dont know if this is colon cancer or what?
I get very consitpated but only during my period and my symptoms match exactly with the signs of colon cancer should i be worried? i have an appt on tuesday with my doctor but i just need to know to ease my mind please help

I noticed a little hard ball right about 1/4 inches in my rectum area and now I’m worried. I don’t bleed and it doesn’t hurt at all. I was just taking a shower the other day and noticed it. Is this a sign of colon/rectum cancer?

Ok first let me tell you about the last week I’ve had. In the past week I’ve had problems with vomiting and diarrhea. I had problems with cramping and gas pains. I also had burps at times that smelled awful and tasted just as bad. I saw a doctor and was admitted to the hospital for severe dehydration. I was told I was suffering from gastroenteritis. I’ve started to feel better since then. Now I’m worried. What if they missed something serious like colon cancer. I’m hoping that someone that knows about cancer and stuff will read this and ease my worries. I’m listing the tests the hospital performed and also the symptoms I had and have now.

Symptoms before:
Watery diarrhea
Nausea and vomiting
Stomach Pains
Burps that smelled and tasted awful

Tests:
Blood Test – white blood cell count slightly elevated
Stool Sample – no parasites nor blood
Urine Sample – just showed I was dehydrated
Abdomen X-Rays – showed no blockages or abnormalities

I was given meds for nausea and the stomach pains which helped. They couldn’t give me anything for diarrhea because the medicine they wanted to give I was allergic to.

I continued to have diarrhea for a day or two after my release then my stools started to turn solid but when I did go they were short and thin. I had these short and thin stools for a couple of days and then the stools began to get normal looking about the size of the middle finger on an adult but loose not packed together.

Colon Cancer signs and symptoms:
Thin Stools – I had these for a few days only
Feeling like I have to go all the time – No only when I do have to go do I feel like I have to
Blood in stools – none that I can see with the naked eye
Cramping – not really cramping I am having a weird bloated feeling but only in one spot of my abdomen. I had my appendix removed a long time ago and right around the scar I’m getting a weird tightness feeling. I’m wondering if all the straining from the vomiting irritated the scar tissue there.
Feeling of being tired: No more than usual.

I am only 27 years old. Nobody in my family has ever had colon cancer. Stress has caused me to have digestive problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome so my bowel movements have never been normal. I don’t smoke nor drink. The only symptoms I have now are the thin stools that happen here and there over the past few days and the weird tight feeling around my appendix scar. I have no constipation or anything else just those two symptoms. My stomach is soft when I press on it just a little tender all over from the swelling caused by the gastroenteritis. I no longer have nausea or diarrhea and have been able to tolerate most foods. I haven’t lost any weight aside from the few pounds from the week of vomiting and diarrhea and what I did lose I’m gaining back. I was in the hospital for about 12 hours. I asked the doctor point blank “so do I have anything majorly wrong with me” and he replied with “no just go home and get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids and you’ll be fine in a few days”. I shouldn’t worry right? I have no insurance so part of me wonders if they just wanted to get rid of me because I couldn’t pay. Could I have colon cancer or is my body just trying to get back to normal from the stress put on it from the gastroenteritis and if so how long should it take for like say the stools to return to normal and the tightness feeling to go away.

my right lower side where small and large intestines meet has been hurting for six months. dr. thought it was my endometriosis and took my female organs out. I am still in the same pain.

As the title says, yes I get butt cramps a lot. IS THAT A SIGN OF COLON CANCER? I swear this is not a joke

So my aunt recently dies of colon cancer, and since not a single other person in our family has had it, the doctor told us to be weary of a new strain. So i have never been constipated or irregular my entire life. Until latley. Over the last months, from january to now, i’ve been constipated about 4 times i think.

No bloating, blood, mucus, ect. Just constipation. Could i just need to change my diet (i don’t eat often), or just take in more fiber, ect ect. 14, male.

mean the immune system is weak! an untreated one?
