I’m 13, and in the past 4-6 months I have thought I had all these different kinds of diseases and cancers:

anal cancer
leukemia
brain tumor
breast cancer
colon cancer
skin cancer
aids
swine flu
pin worms
tape worms
thread worms
internal hemorrhoids
external hermohorrids
Proctalgia Fugax
pneumonia
human papilmovirus
west nile virus
urinary tract infection

and probably more that i cant remeber.. I can’t sleep at night thinking I have one of these.. and everwhere I go I keep thinking of these.. What can I do to stop? Whats wrong with me?
Im still really scared I have some of them..

I’ve always been chronically constipated but I was always too afraid to tell my doctor. Tomorrow I am going to see him, and tell him once an for all that I suffer chronic constipation because I am tired of this condition. I’m always bloated, in pain, and have external hemorrhoids. What will/can my doctor do to help me?! This has been going on for too long!

I had diarrhea up until yesterday and now I have a pea-sized hemorrhoid…I read that diarrhea can be a cause of hemorrhoids. But will they go away on their own? If so, how long? If not, what do I need to do to get rid of it quickly? It’s quite uncomfortable..

thank you for your replies, i live in the uk where anal dilation is a procedure whereby the surgeon inserts his or her fingers into the anal canal and gently stretches the sphincter muscles. I have heard negative reports about this procedure not least that the US refuses to use it becuase of the risk of fecal incontinence afterwards. I was hoping for a reply from someone in the Uk who has had this kind of operation and how they fared afterwards.

Hello everybody. I am a 19 year old male. Something strange started happening the last two weeks.

I became constipated two Sundays ago. Well, this happens to everyone from time to time. I thought nothing of it. I drank prune juice, took laxatives, etc. The problem soon disappeared.

Then, this past Friday, I got constipated again. But worse. I took laxatives, drank prune juice, and although I passed stool, I felt like I still had to go, I felt like something was partially stuck in my rectum. Now, it’s like everyday that I feel constipated.

I have hemorrhoids. When I use the restroom, more often that not I will see blood on the tissue paper when I wipe.

My mother has Colitis.

My stool is very thin, almost ribbon like. I have not been able to produce my "normal" stool. I feel like now I HAVE to drink prune juice just so I can pass stool.

What’s wrong with me? Could it be an internal hemorrhoids? A tumor? Cancer? What should I do?

Please, any advice is appreciated.
But, why is my stool suddenly skinny and ribbon like?
