Ok, so this is unfortunately going to be graphic and gross but I can’t help it. Sorry. Anyways, I still suffer horrible constipation and fairly heavy bleeding along with it. I drink water and flavored water (no sugar) and once in a while a hot tea but like I said it’s only once in a while. No matter how much I drink per day, I feel so dehydrated. The 1st time I went to the proctologist (can’t spell ), she made me a prescription for muralax and made it sound like I was to stay on it for the rest of my life. Well, I noticed after a week of taking it I had diarrhea coming on. So, as a result, I stopped for a few days but that was a huge mistake. My poops were hard, bloody and baseball size. (I know it’s nasty but I need ppl to help point me in the right direction). The doctors told me I have internal hemorrhoids but they’re "no big deal" and not in the way. Out of fear, I’ve decided on no more children if all I’m gonna do is suffer. I need to know if there is anyone in my shoes or have ever been in my shoes who could possibly help?
To top it all off- I have no one that can help me with baby. I have been on my own since he was born (6 months straight) with him only being babysat a few times and my husband can only help when he’s home. We can’t afford a babysitter either b/c I haven’t found a job yet to support the financial responsibility of having one.

I am displaying all of the symptoms of Bowel Cancer but I’m only 15. My Mother was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) a couple of years ago and I’ve heard that its hereditary. The only thing is I have researched on the Internet and most sites say that bleeding from the rectum is not a symptom of IBS, but this is one of my smptoms.
My symptoms include:
* A change in bowel habits
* Diarrhea, constipation or feeling that the bowel does not empty completely
* A lot of blood, either bright red or very dark in the stool
* General abdominal discomfort such as frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness or cramps
* Weight loss with no known reason
* Constant tiredness
I am also very Anaemic and have Depression.
Please help me.

Yeah so..TMI but…
I went to the toilet a few hours ago and found bright red blood on the toilet roll. I went a while later, and it was there again, even though i didn’t poo. I have had a little bit of blood before, but not this much!

I noticed a change in my bowel habits about 1 and a half years ago..I started to go more frequent, like more than once a day! I don’t have diarrhea or constipation though. (Well, very rarely)

I don’t usually have stomach pains, and if i do they are very mild, and go quickly. I sometimes have pains in my bum when im going to the toilet, but again, only quite mild and occasional. Also it itches occasionally, but just for a few seconds.

Do you think i have bowel cancer =’[??
Its such an embarrassing thing to go to the doctor with, especially at 16 years old. Do you think i have to go?
Please help, thanks for any serious answers! =]

how much would it cost without or with insurance do any of you know cause i am pretty sure i have to have surgery they are so bad i get alot of bleeding i don’t like talking about it but i need to cause its something that needs to be fixed… please let me know if you have any information
yeah bleeding happens every 3 to 5 months and it lasts up to 2 weeks and its painful it feels like scrapping when i go (tmi) but it does and i go normally usually twice a day one in the morning and one at night but i don’t hold it or anything if i have to go i have to go i heard if its like kinda like hard its not good but its not… i think my hemorrhoids are just really bothered and i get diarrhea alot too is there any creams that are really good ?!?

I’ve been having muscle "tightness" in my left flank area. I also have increased fat in my stools. I went to the doctor and he said that it was a muscle on that was tight on my side and the increased stools could be due to IBS since I have been under tremendous stress. I do have diarrhea one day and then a couple of days later, I’ll have constipation. Also, I have horrible hemorrhoids. I went to the ER and the doctor there said that they were terrible (I actually have 3 really big ones) and that I needed to see a surgeon. I have low-back tightness and left hip tightness as well. With all that being said, I still have the tight feeling in my left side, not so much the fatty stool but my rectum hurts deep and my hemorrhoids are really bad and I’m constipated. I also notice this groove in my stool that goes the length of my stool. I have convinced myself that I have colon cancer! Im a 35 yo female w/ no family hx. of cancer. My blood work was all negative in May. In the past 2 years, I’ve had 2 abd. ultrasounds and a CT of the abdomen w. contrast which were all unremarkable. No bloody stools but a couple of times did see red blood streaks on toilet paper (from hemorrhoids). Stools are normal size. Am I freaking out over nothing? Could it be levator ani syndrome, possible internal hemorrhoids? Just looking for an answer besides cancer (I’ve been looking on the internet too much)!
