i been having this change in Bowels all the time sometimes i have bad stomach aches and my bowels are always like diarrhoea and sometimes they are normal bowels then i always have constipation due to my irregular eating habits and always have lower backpains.i am quite worried it might be colon cancer as i have read the symptoms can someone enlighten me what this might be thks.

Colon cancer runs in my family and my mother had polyps at 40. I am only 23 and also get bleeding hemorrhoids. How much would one of those anal test cost?

Hello, I’m 17 years old and I’ve got a pretty terrible anxiety disorder so I’ve been panicking about this for literally half a month and it’s terrible.

Anyway, almost 3 weeks ago I started to notice reoccuring blood in the toilet after a BM.
A noticeable amount of blood, almost making all the water in the toilet a brightish red.
It went on for 7 days before I finally told my mom, and she took me to the family doctor.

He took a look and said there’s an inflamed bleeding hemorrhoid and a small tear or crack or whatever and he prescribed me to this cream (which is very disgusting to apply..)
He knew how long it had been happening, and that it had been happening after EVERY bowel movement and he said I’d be fine.

Is he right?
It’s been 8 days since I was given the cream, I use it twice a day as recommended.
One day the bleeding was gone all together, just one, I also happened to have diarreha that day could that effect it? Then the next day the bleeding was back!

Should I be worried at all? Should I keep taking the cream and not worry?
I’m so scared that it’s something else..

Thanks guys.
Thanks Cookie, yeah I actually am scared it’s colon cancer or something.. and it’s really scary. I know it’s most likely in my head but I came here for some sort of reassurance to tell me this is pretty normal.

I think I’ll wait another 10 days, and drink a lot of water, and ask my mom if I can use 3 of her fibre pills every day and I’m hoping it’ll clear up..

I could still use some more input, the more the better!

Since I had my kids I have been plagued with bouts of hemorrhoids. I have awful bathroom habits, eating habits and I really don’t take good care of my rectum. Its bad, and I am now in the process of paying closer attention to what goes on down there since I know I have family History of colon cancer,polyps diverticulits and the like. With that said…I have a nasty bout of hemmorhoids right now. They are definitly thrombosed (clotted). I have had them now for about a week, the clotts have been there probably 3 or 4 days. I used a whole pack of PH supositories with no relief. I have had to have the clots removed once before surgically. Is there a way for the clots to go away naturally? I’ve done warmth, cold for swelling…brings the swelling down but the pea size clots remain. Do I have to go to the drs or will they go away on their own?? Only reason I ask is because my boss gives me hell everytime I need a day off due to health issues and I just hate to have to ask her again…

is bowel cancer real? or is it same as colon cancer? if its true how would u know if u have it? plz answer asap D:
