i have had frank blood in my bowel movements. kinda like blood drops. and on my toilet paper too. i have cramps most of the time, most of the time there only small and before and sometimes after a bowel movement. i have irregular periods and breast and bowel cancer runs in my family.

sometimes i switch between constipation and diarrhea. one day i had severe diarrhea and cramping. when i get my period i have severe cramps for the first couple of days.

im 13 and im freaking out because websites i have searched my symptoms on say bowel cancer. im not on any medication but i do (when i remember) have ear drops for an ear infection.

i get gas often (how embarrassing)
and i get really tired all the time
i think i have been dehydrated so maybe that is causing it.
my friend suggests i go on the pill.
iv have literally half the symptoms of bowel cancer.

please help me im really scared.

i know ill probably have to go to the dr so dont say go to the dr/er.

thank you.

I had some rectal bleeding and I went to see my doctor. He said it could be hemorrhoids. However, he recommended I go see another doctor that specializes in that field. So,I went to see this other doctor. ANd he recommended I have a colonoscopy done to make sure it wasn’t anything serious. So, I did. And he claims everything is okay. However sometimes when I go to the restroom, I have some rectal bleeding. Is it hemorrhoids or what? The latter doctor did say i had a hemorrhoid; but, he did not give me any medication or anything like that. What should I do?

I’m taking colace 100mg a day and I was given direction from the doctor to take two Vegetable Laxatives in the morning and two at night. I’m not constipated but I have rectal bleeding due to tons of internal hemorrhoids so my stool needs to be soft to help prevent any extra damage. But why is it so important there is a sticker on the RX bottle that says drink plenty of water while taking this medication?

I have acute IBS and the treatment with this gastroenterologist were not going anywhere. So i went to another gastroenterologist, who put me on a new medication. I had appointment with this gastroenterologist today and he got mad at me why i went to the other gastro-enterologist. He then said, "i will not treat you now. Don’t even bother anymore to come here"

Basically thats all he did and he will bill my health insurance company several 100′s of dollar for this "scolding only". Is this fair? As a patient why can’t I see another gastro-enterologist for relief or get second opinion? Is that not my right?

This gastroenterologist was so pissed at me, he was like fuming. Why should he get his money today? Please tell me. I went to him for hemorrhoids and he REFUSED to treat me because "you dared to go to another gastroenterologist". Is this fair?
To whom can i complain of such conduct? He plainly refused to treat me. Is this even legal?
