Hey, I have been having vaginal burning/irritation for some time. Recently, I woke up with massive pain in my lower abdomen. I went to the doctor and after feeling around and he agreed something was wrong with my bladder. He gave me meds for a UTI and sent me to the lab to get a urine analysis. It came back negative. I skipped my period last month as well. I just got it and it burned to even put a tampon in. In addition, I have been feeling very uncomfortable while and after I urinate. I have not been sexually active in over a year. In addition, I have been having digestive issues as well which was diagnosed as internal hemorrhoids and irritable bowel syndrome. I naturally figured that nausea and stomach pains were symptoms of my digestive problem but it may be otherwise. What can this possibly be? I have been tested for chlamydia and that was negative. Can this even be an STD since I have not been sexually active in over a year?

I was put on a high-fiber diet by my doctor to help ease symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I recently started eating fiber fortified cereal and yogurt, drinking fiber fortified slim fasts with my meals, and choosing high-fiber foods all around. It has been only a few days since I started this new form of eating, and I have been very gassy and I’ve had an upset stomach. Is this in any way related to my new diet, and if so, when can I expect my body to get used to the new diet I’m eating? Also… is a high fiber diet going to make me feel more satisfied after meals? I am a vegetarian and often find myself over eating snacks because my main courses are not filling enough.

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.

for a few year’s now i assumed i had irritable bowel syndrome as occasionally when i go to the toilet it can be very painful but the pain goes after i relieve myself but a few week’s ago it happened again but this time it was very painful and i passed quite alot of blood, sometimes it was just blood and sometimes when i went to the toilet. for a week i felt very tired, breathless i was told this was due to the blood i lost. but 3wks later i’m having alot of back and abdominal pain in my lower left, i feel very bloated after i eat and find that i can’t eat as much as i used too. i feel run down. i’m very scared that it might be bowel cancer? i’m due to have a colonoscopy soon but wondered if anyone could help me, maybe someone that is going through the same thing? my blood levels are fine and the stool test came back negative. could it still be cancer???? PLS HELP. thank you :0)

I’m 23 years old. I’ve had problems with chronic diarrhea most of my life. I suspect it to be irritable bowel syndrome. I first started noticing hemorrhoids when I was 18 years old. I haven’t really noticed that they have ever gone away completely. But gradually, they have gotten worse…

I have one that has gotten to be kinda large when it’s flared up, maybe about the size of an m&m candy. I very rarely see them bleed. They cause me a good bit of discomfort, but it isn’t unbearable.

When should I consider it bad enough to see a doctor (when I can’t bear it, perhaps….)?

What about treatment? Is rue care oil a joke? Do doctors steer people away from it? I’d like to avoid surgery if I can.

I have diarrhea fairly often, so don’t recommend that I get more fiber in my diet – that’d make my situation worse. I NEVER get constipated. I’m careful about not eating stuff that provokes diarrhea, but sometimes it’s inevitable. IBS aside, suggestions for the hems?
