I think i have bowel or colon cancer because i have been having a really hard time going to the bathroom lately. I have been like this since nov, i started with constipation every now and then and then as the months went by it started hurting more and more to go to the restroom, i bleed bright red blood from my anus and i find it in my stool. The last 1 month have been the worst, i have had excruciating pain when i go to the restroom, i don’t go to the restroom for approximately 4 to 5 days :/ which is horrible last friday i drank a magnesium citrate bottle and it helped me for the day, although my stool came out as diarrhea it still hurt and burned like hell!! on sunday i found a hemorrhoid and i have been putting preparation H. Since sunday i have been drinking Metamucil 2 times a day. since sat the only day i went to the restroom was on wednesday, only because i did an enema wash but even that didn’t help, my stool didn’t come out the way it was suppose too. I have lost a big amount of weight the past week and my appetite has dramatically reduced, my stomach always just feels uncomfortable, and is always hurting. This includes drinking lots of water and eating very healthy each day, especially eating a lot of fruits. :/ im really worried and i know i have to get it check out, but my parents don’tt always take it too seriously, it just worries me the most because im only 16 ;( so yeah i have tried everythingg from laxatives, to washes, stool softenersrs everyday, to fiber cereals and now the fiber drink but nothing is working, i really cant handel the pain anymore i cry every time. whats your guys opinion? please and thank you:)

By I was wondering if it’s okay??My movement is depending on the medicine..Please answer this. Thanks!!

Hello everybody. I am a 19 year old male. Something strange started happening the last two weeks.

I became constipated two Sundays ago. Well, this happens to everyone from time to time. I thought nothing of it. I drank prune juice, took laxatives, etc. The problem soon disappeared.

Then, this past Friday, I got constipated again. But worse. I took laxatives, drank prune juice, and although I passed stool, I felt like I still had to go, I felt like something was partially stuck in my rectum. Now, it’s like everyday that I feel constipated.

I have hemorrhoids. When I use the restroom, more often that not I will see blood on the tissue paper when I wipe.

My mother has Colitis.

My stool is very thin, almost ribbon like. I have not been able to produce my "normal" stool. I feel like now I HAVE to drink prune juice just so I can pass stool.

What’s wrong with me? Could it be an internal hemorrhoids? A tumor? Cancer? What should I do?

Please, any advice is appreciated.
But, why is my stool suddenly skinny and ribbon like?

Hi all. I have been having this problem for about 15 days.

I just can’t poop, no matter how hard i try, it won’t come out, even when it comes out, it is thin, and when I take laxatives (Tea), it comes out very little.

So yesterday I decided to take it out by myself. I put a glove in my hand, and I put my finger inside. I noticed something strange inside, there was something like balloon filled with water, something soft. And, in front of anus (Inside), there is something strong, don’t know if that is poop or anything else.

So today, when I still was trying to poop, I took some toilet paper, and I touch it, when i looked my toilet paper, it was wet, no smell, like water.

According to some research around the internet, it could be internal hemorrhoids, what do you think/suggest?

Of course I’ll see a doctor in 4 days. Thank you, and sorry, my English is not really good!

K, this is really embarressing. I use laxatives everyday (the doctor said it was fine) so I can go to the bathroom and some times I still don`t go for a few days. When ever I do it`s like diarrhea but not a lot of it. My butt has been hurting REALLY bad the last few days, it`s unbearable. I also haven`t went in the past few days. Well, now I`m pretty sure I have a hemorrhoid but not for sure. So what causes it? How can you tell? What are the symptoms? Also if you know what I can do about that would be great. Thanks!
