For the past few weeks i've been experiencing changes. In the past yes i've had bowl problems but its different and seems to have worsened within the past few months (roughly 4) ive had loss of appetite, weight loss, constipation so bad that its like tug of war that i have to keep pushing or my bowel causes my poo to go back inside and once its finally comes out it hurts for a second. I am 16 but i am still worrying. I've also had some blood a week back and today i've had an orange stool but on the side it was dark brown which worries me, the thought of my dying young makes me depressed every single day and is the only thing i can think about. I've woken up in the middle of the night and in the morning due to abdominal discomfort and trapped wind which im also unable to break wind now causing me bloating and abdominal pain, can anyone help please? i'm so worried and cant put my mind to rest.
Hi Sikwaves:
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR. You need a stool test. If you see blood in your stool that means that you are bleeding in your digestive tract. It is imperative that you see your primary care physician immediately. You want to put your mind and emotions at ease, this is what you need to do. Please let us know how you make out!
Hey
I can understand your worries but you are very young to have bowel cancer, it could be numerous things, you could have piles, also it is very common to have blood in your poo with constipation. It could be from trying to force it out. As I said could be numerous things, all treatable. Very very doubtful it will be bowel cancer. You need to go and see your gp and the quicker you get diagnosed they can give you meds to sort it out. Stress and anxiety will certainly not help. My bowels are always affected by stress. Do not worry about this
