Im a 15 year old female with no cancer running in my family exept prostate cancer (which obviously doesnt effect me). So i have a question, because my bowel movements have changed a lot in the past 3 weeks. I usually go every day but 3 weeks ago, i felt really constipated and didnt go in almost 6 days. Then, after that it hasnt really been the same. Ive had to push harder (sorry if im grossing you out) and i dont feel completely "empty" after i go. I am going every day again, but it also seems like i dont poop as much. I havent changed my eating habits lately either. On occasion, ill feel a dull pain in my abdomen area when im trying to poop. But its not that bad and it goes away after. I dont have blood in my stool or anything though. So from what i have read, those are signs of it. Im a little worried and i wanted to know what you think..? PLEASE dont say "go to the doctor" because i really would rather not until i know if im overreacting. So could you tell me what you think this possibly could be and if i should be worried? Thanks =]
Also, when i was in that constipated week, i threw up for no apparent reason out of nowhere.. i dont know if that has anything to do with it. Also, i eat pretty healthy and try to get 2 aerobics classes in every week plus running so i do get exercise
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.
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…
