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 am 14 years old and I think I may have a hemorrhoid, but I am not sure. I have had this problem for like 2-3 years, though this problem has stopped and then came back. My problem is that I have been bleeding while bowel movements and it hurts very badly. I have looked all around the internet looking for some treatments and they all say to eat more fiber,drink more water, and to see a doctor. I really don’t want to go to the doctors because I have no idea how to bring this up to my father to ask to go to the doctors. Since I don’t know if its a hemorrhoid what can I do to treat it? And is ok if I don’t go to the doctors?

My boyfriend and I were being intimate and he kind of grabbed by butt cheeks and pulled. and I got a hemorrhoid, I’ve had it for 3 years now can I still get rid of it with out having surgery?

Im worried i may have it. I was wondering if you could tell me the symptoms you had and how severe it was and how long did you ignore it before going to the doctors?

Did it get worse over time? Give me as much information as possible, thanks.
Just to add, im 18 years old and being worrying about finding blood on the toilet paper for 3 years now.
Iv ignored it for 3 years because i dont want to believe it could be anything serious, its too embarrassing and i hate how they diagnosis Bowel cancer, with scopes going up your butt….

i have had hemorrhoids for the past 3 years they go and come but last week i had them and they went away but 4 days ago i used the bathroom to the a number 2 and when i wiped myself they had blood on the toilet paper and i used it today and same problem.
also it hurts a bit when i go do # 2 is this something that i should take serous and go to the doctor or will i eventually stop bleeding when i go use the bathroom
