Ok, so for a month now I’ve been pretty liquid and inconsistent when producing stools. (Yay, such a happy topic.)
I’m just worrying if this extended period of diarrhoea is perhaps pertinent to a case of Bowel Cancer?
It’s my biggest, probably most irrational fear…
Still, if anyone could shed any light on the situation further than "Go see your doctor lololol", then I’d appreciate it.
No, no, it’s not that I don’t like going to the Doctor. I’m currently on Citalopram 20mg, so I have to keep going back every month and such, but I’m just wondering if it’s actually any kind of cause to go in the first place.

I have been struggling with constipation all during chemo. I was waiting for hemorrhoids to show up and today when I had a bm I was slightly constipated and there was a lot of blood. Now I had another bm and there wasn’t blood until I strained a lot. I’m going to the doctor on tuesday, should I call and tell my doctor sooner or is it fine to wait till tuesday? There is no pain because it’s internal. Would my oncologist do a rectal exam or would a different doctor? I heard that it heals itself so I won’t need anything but will they be coming back a lot?

How do I stop my Hemorrhoid from bleeding? It’s been bleeding for 3 days now. Should I worry? How long will the bleeding last? Is there any home remedy for this? I really don’t want to go to the doctor. Please suggest anything, not just surgery or going to the doctor. Thanks

I’m 19 years old and I’ve only had one sexual partner. I haven’t been sexually active since December. Recently the area around my anus has been itching. I thought maybe it was irritated from shaving in that region but with further inspection I found a small bump near the opening of my anus. It’s flesh colored and smooth. I’ve been researching HPV online because I’m scared at the possibility of having anal warts but it doesn’t look like any of the pictures. My diet has been really poor lately and I am almost always constipated due to having to take prescribed pain relievers so I’m guessing and hoping that it’s hemorrhoids. However, can a hemorrhoid be a bump at the opening of the anus or does it have to hang out? The bump is just really itchy and so is the area surrounding it. It hasn’t bled but I’ve read that not all external hemorrhoids do. I would think that one would have to have anal sex in order to get anal warts but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me out and take an educated guess as to whats wrong with me? *note: I will be going to the doctor I would just like an opinion to help me sleep better tonight*

And are there any effective home treatments? I’d rather avoid going to the doctor if possible because I don’t have insurance. Any ideas?
