am i jumping to conclusions??? -regarding cancer-?
Okay,so I have some symptoms of colon cancer but they are also symptoms of general constipation. I have blood once in a while and my stools are very thin but I dont know if Id say they’re flat(and i hear colon cancer is flat stool) because they are round just really really skinny.
The symptoms I have are some fullness in my stomach area, constipation, skinny stool(not flat though), and had blood appear just twice so far.
Okay,so I went on a government (.gov) website for health and it is old statistics, but it said that 1.1% of people between ages 20 and 34 have colon cancer.
I’m 22. I’m young, I eat healthy most times, but last week I ate the candy store. I literally ate so much junk food it was insane, but after that I had a salad every day, but now I get this constipation..
After I ate about 4 days ago, I exercised immediately.. and after I exercised my stomach hurt like crazy, so maybe I disrupted my bowels??
Does this sound like It’s just constipation or colon cancer? Someone on a forum online said they had colon cancer at age 30 but do you think I’m unlucky enough to be one of the very few people who get it(1%)?
I have no one in my family who has had colon cancer, I do not drink, I do not smoke, I do not feel dizzy or sick to my stomach, I do not feel tired(I’m super hyper always), and I do not have pain in my stomach only discomfort.
PLEASE HELP THANKS
carol thanks I only could answer yes for one of them.

Hello:
A few questions for you/
Are you over 50 years of age.
Do you have blood in your stool and it is very very dark.
Do you have a family history of stomach or colon cancer.
Have you ever been dx with diverticulitis’s.
Do you have diarrhea or constipation more than 3 times a week for more than 3 months.
Have you ever had polyps in your colon.
If you answer yes to 3 or 4 of these than it is time to go see your doctor for a
exam.
This is the questions we would ask in the doctors office for intake.
So the answer is see were you stand and any adult over 50 should have
a colon exame to make sure you don’t have cancer.
Not necessarily. I was having problems with constipation and it turned out to be the white bread I was eating. Diet plays a major role in constipation. Also forcing stool will cause some blood. Internal bleeding is dark red – external bleeding is a bright red
