Hi i am a 25 year old male.I have had for about 2 months now a dull gassy like pain in my upper right side of my abdomen.sometimes when i lay on that side at night if feels like a knot in there other nights i feels nothing at all.Along with it i have been passing alot of gas and i can feel my stomach just turning sometimes.The pain has never been freakishly intense just dull.One of the main issues i have is that along with all that i have 2 anal fissures that i’ve been currently trying to heal as well.I have had them for about 6 months.I went to the doctors and they performed a complete blood count and evreything came back normal.They also performed an abdominal xray and all that it showed was that i had was mild to moderate "colonic fecal retention" which i had no clue what that meant.I also went to a GI specialist because my anal fissures bleed and it began to worry me and he did an examination and said that along with my fissures i look to have some internal hemorrhoids as well but he wanted to treat the anal fissures first he said that both fissures are north and south of my anus which makes him think that they are just "regular" anal fissures and not a cause of something else.And with my all my symptoms he said that although he couldnt 100% rule out me possibly having crohn’s disease…due to the location of my abdominal pain he didn’t think i had it.He gave me some ointment for my fissures and i have another appointment in 6 weeks with him to see how much progress the fissures have made and along with the ointment that i just received i have also increased my fiber intake to help heal the fissures.This has been a pure nightmare for me and it has made me very nervous and killed my mental mindset.I wish i could get some peace of mind but i’m scared i have colon cancer or something like that.Like i said im only 25 years old i’ve never had any problems like this till now so i’m freaking out.Can anyone give me words of wisdom? I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you so much!
I’ve seen my doc, he’s sending me to a GI specialist on Thursday. May have a colonoscopy. I’m not sure what a blood clot is supposed to look like, but the blood on my stool is formed together and occaisionally when I wipe, a "clot" is there on the paper. I’ve bled from hemorroids for years, but these clots are new. I’m just hoping I don’t have anything worse than hemorroids.
I do have pain while having a bowel movement. I may have an anal fissure instead of hemorroids. But like I said, the clots are new.
