Hi, i’m an 18 years old girl, and i just got diagnosed of polyps on my colon.

I think i have actually noticed that something was not normal with my abdomen since about 2 or 3 years ago, cause i noticed that bright red blood occurs several times when i went to the toilet. but i thought it was okay, so i didnt tell my parents yet. and then about 9 months ago, i told my parents about it and we instantly assumed that it was hemorrhoid (since my father and his siblings have had taken hemorrohoid surgery). but then later on this week, i went to the gynecologist because my period circulation is very rapid, and when the doctor check my rectum with his finger, he told me to go to the surgeon because he’s suspicious of the hemorrhoid.

So right after that, I went to my uncle who is a surgeon (he haven’t know about my “hemorrhoid” yet). And then he “slipped in” a tube like sort of thing into my rectum and I don’t know what happened back there but I hear my uncle told my mom and the nurse beside him to look at those little grape like things. Then my uncle said that it wasn’t hemorrhoid but it was polyp. So I have to take surgery, and then after the polyp has lifted, it will be sent into the lab for a test. But my uncle told me that he wants me to go to another surgeon (digestive surgeon to be specific) before operation. And he said that how can you haven’t notice anything about it until today? You should’ve noticed it, since the polyps are not small (he didn’t said that they were big though). And I told him that I noticed the fresh blood and the mucus, but I thought that it was hemorrhoid.

I know that I will get the diagnoses from these doctors, but since I’m just curious and I haven’t made any appointments with another surgeon yet, can you help me with these questions please?
1.Is it possible that my uncle is mistaken? I mean that it really was a hemorrhoid.
2.If it is polyp, can you give a quick diagnose if this polyps are harmless polyps or not (cancer etc)?
3.Is it possible to have a colon cancer at the age of 18?

I do have an external hemorrhoid because I had a doctor examine me, and It never used to bleed really ever. Now these past 3 months I’d say I’ve bled about 11 times or so. It is bright red blood nothing bad looking or anything like that. It just seems I’m starting to bleed more frequently than usual. Once during this 3 month period I went for almost 30 days without any problems whatsoever. Now it seems like its acting up, and its never a lot of blood at all, a few drops, and some blood on the toilet paper. Anyone else experience anything like this with your bleeding hemorrhoid?
**3 Months ago I did have a doctor examine me and confirm I had an external Hemorrhoid.**

ive been having anal bleeding for about 2 months now. My anus gets extremely itchy when i wipe and it starts to bleed everytime i use friction on the toilet paper with bright red blood. my stool appears normal color, but sometimes i get diahrrea does this sound like hemmorhoids? ps im 20 yrs old.

hi. i am 26 y/o healthy. i don’t really know how to explain without sounding gross but for like a week or so i am shitting blood, like there’s bright red blood all over the toilet. i d k what color the shit is cuz kinda of hard to see through the blood and today i had the urge to go after lunch and the only thing that came out was blood, bright red blood and none else. i don’t have any external hemorrhoids nor am i doing any weird sexual stuff. i am also not constipated. it doesn’t hurt or burn. can someone tell if its bad or not.

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:)
so my problems are stomach pains, extreme constipation, weight loss, blood in stool and i bleed every time i go which isn’t often combined with a lot of pain, also a hemorrhoid and lately my anus gets itchy. also a mucus comes out too. please help
