I’ve been having some bothersome symptoms lately. I’m 29 years old. I was just reading about the death of Joel Siegel. He died of colorectal cancer. So as I was reading about it, I found out the symptoms of colorectal cancer & I have actually been having several of these symptoms for some time now. Since the birth of my daughter early this year. Would it be really unlikely that I would have colorectal cancer? Like I said I’m 29 years old. These are the symptoms I’m having:
- chronic constipation
- a little bit of rectal bleeding (this doesn’t happen every day tho)
- pain during and after having a bm
- unexplainable fatigue & feeling of weakness despite me getting a full 8 hours of sleep & sometimes I even get more
Those are the recurring symptoms I’ve been having. Do you think it could be colorectal cancer? I’m hoping it’s just hemorrhoids as I also read from an article on webmd that hemorrhoids can also cause bleeding in the digestive tract & since I had baby not long ago…
by the way here’s the link to the article about colorectal cancer. It contains a list of many of the symptoms caused by having colorectal cancer that I got off of webmd.

I just want to know can a person have anal tags and hemorrhoids at the same time, if so how can be it be treated i know for hemorrhoids they do this new thing called banding how about the anal tags are they going to do a major surgery on the person because my g/f she has a few down there by the rectum area and she is really scared. do they need to put her to sleep or they are just going to give her a local anesthesia. can you please let me know in details thank you so much from everyone of you…

I’ll start off by saying I am only 23. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a pretty bad cold. I went to the doctor and he put me on some antibiotics that didn’t help, all my symptoms stayed the same. It hurt to eat anything besides soup so my bowl movements became very runny, like diarrhea. One day after a BM i noticed blood on my toilet paper, I didn’t think too much about it but the next day when I had a BM it felt like I was passing glass, so after a little internet research I figured I had a hemorrhoid.

The next day was a little uncomfortable but after having another BM that night, I was in a lot of pain. It was hard for me to go to sleep because of the pain, however when I woke up the next day, I seemed to be better. Worried about the night before I decided to bend over in the mirror and take a look myself. I have a large pink lump about the size of a kidney bean where my anus once was! I was very concerned and I have been edge about it ever since! I am too embarrassed to tell any friends for family even though I have tried, I just can’t spit it out. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of fiber just hoping this will clear up and go away on its own! Whenever I pass a BM it is still painful and bleeds. This has only been about a 5 days total and the pain is manageable I’m just concerned that if I do not take action it might get worse worse, or not clear up at all.

I’d really rather just wait it out if that is an option, I don’t know why I find this too embarrassing to talk over with anyone, but even the thought of going to the doctor at this point is mortifying and I can only bear to do it if it is necessary!

To recap, I believe I have an external hemorrhoid, will it go away on its own or MUST I seek medical attention? Thanks for any help!
