Hi, i’m an 18 years old girl, and i just got diagnosed of polyps on my colon.

I think i have actually noticed that something was not normal with my abdomen since about 2 or 3 years ago, cause i noticed that bright red blood occurs several times when i went to the toilet. but i thought it was okay, so i didnt tell my parents yet. and then about 9 months ago, i told my parents about it and we instantly assumed that it was hemorrhoid (since my father and his siblings have had taken hemorrohoid surgery). but then later on this week, i went to the gynecologist because my period circulation is very rapid, and when the doctor check my rectum with his finger, he told me to go to the surgeon because he’s suspicious of the hemorrhoid.

So right after that, I went to my uncle who is a surgeon (he haven’t know about my “hemorrhoid” yet). And then he “slipped in” a tube like sort of thing into my rectum and I don’t know what happened back there but I hear my uncle told my mom and the nurse beside him to look at those little grape like things. Then my uncle said that it wasn’t hemorrhoid but it was polyp. So I have to take surgery, and then after the polyp has lifted, it will be sent into the lab for a test. But my uncle told me that he wants me to go to another surgeon (digestive surgeon to be specific) before operation. And he said that how can you haven’t notice anything about it until today? You should’ve noticed it, since the polyps are not small (he didn’t said that they were big though). And I told him that I noticed the fresh blood and the mucus, but I thought that it was hemorrhoid.

I know that I will get the diagnoses from these doctors, but since I’m just curious and I haven’t made any appointments with another surgeon yet, can you help me with these questions please?
1.Is it possible that my uncle is mistaken? I mean that it really was a hemorrhoid.
2.If it is polyp, can you give a quick diagnose if this polyps are harmless polyps or not (cancer etc)?
3.Is it possible to have a colon cancer at the age of 18?

I use to have a lil lump on my butt i knew it was a hemorrhoid but i didn’t think anything about it. Well it popped. it is completely deflated now so i know it popped. when i try and go to the bathroom i get severe pain to mild sometimes, threess almost always blood, anywhere from a tiny drop, to a LOT. Is there any way i can heal this or just get it to not hurt without having to have surgery?

I’ve been reading on genital warts because a friend of mine just got it. The reading materials say that GW are spread by sexual contact. But make me wonder, before the first sexual contact ever that started to spread the HPV virus, how did the very first infected person get infected? The friend of mine’s been monogamous and so is her partner, but she got it a few weeks after some hemorrhoids surgery at some overseas hospital. In her case, could it be the sanitary conditions overseas? Because as I understand, the procedure involved enemas or cleansing of the rectal way.

what should or shouldnt eat? and did anyone esle have this done? how much pain were you in?

What is the relationship between constipication and haemorrhoids? Could constipication lead to surgery?
