Recently I’ve been having bowel movements every morning but the stools are thinner than they used to be, not too much comes out and I haven’t been had an "s" shaped bowel movement in awhile. I don’t have much stomach pain, just some aches every now and then. I bled once about a few months ago when i had a bowel movement and i was worried then. I’m worried again in regards to colon cancer. I am 19 years old and wondering why my stool is thinner and smaller..does that mean colon cancer??

I may have hemorrhoids. I tried to feel for them, and I think it’s a lump of an external hemorrhoid. I never really check, because it could just be how my body is made, but I think it’s a hemorrhoid.

I don’t go to the bathroom a lot, but when I do, it causes some pain. I thought it was just my diet due to the stress in school, and the junk I’ve been eating for Christmas.

I’ve had this problem for a good 5 days. I thought I had this before, because it went away in one day. Only on the first time I wipe I get blood, and after that, there is nothing.

I didn’t bring this up until now. I’m only 19 years old. I’m going on vacation soon, and I’m really worried that it will get much worse on vacation.

My mom may buy me some cream before I go, but I hear eating high fibre, and drinking water helps. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks!

this is a bit embarrassing, but last night i have noticed i got my first ever hemorrhoid. its painful and its the external kind. it doesnt bleed its just painful. i am clueless on what to do about it… im aware that they dont just disappear, but i would like to know some things that will help it shrink and to ease the pain!!
thank you!

p.s. i am 19 years old, is that abnormally young to get hemorrhoids??

For about a year now, I have had these pains that seem to go from my lower abdomen to my rectum (all internal). But they are usually relieved when I have a bowel movement, which is sometimes hours later. I also have blood in my stool occasionally, but it’s bright red, so I’m thinking it may be hemorrhoids, but can those cause that abdominal pain? It’s like a wave of pain that intensifies then dies down, so not constant or sharp pain really…
yeah, i forgot to put in some of that extra info. I’m 19 years old, exercise fairly regularly, and am on a no caffeine diet, so no cokes, coffee, tea, etc.

I’m 19 years old and I’ve only had one sexual partner. I haven’t been sexually active since December. Recently the area around my anus has been itching. I thought maybe it was irritated from shaving in that region but with further inspection I found a small bump near the opening of my anus. It’s flesh colored and smooth. I’ve been researching HPV online because I’m scared at the possibility of having anal warts but it doesn’t look like any of the pictures. My diet has been really poor lately and I am almost always constipated due to having to take prescribed pain relievers so I’m guessing and hoping that it’s hemorrhoids. However, can a hemorrhoid be a bump at the opening of the anus or does it have to hang out? The bump is just really itchy and so is the area surrounding it. It hasn’t bled but I’ve read that not all external hemorrhoids do. I would think that one would have to have anal sex in order to get anal warts but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me out and take an educated guess as to whats wrong with me? *note: I will be going to the doctor I would just like an opinion to help me sleep better tonight*
