Symptoms of colon cancer at the age of 20?

by nike38, May 29, 2006 12:00AM
I noticed these symptoms 6 days ago. On the first day, I woke up during my sleep early in the morning because my stomach was bloated with air and caused sharp pains. I don't recall releasing any bowels that day. The next morning, I woke up extremely tired, my bones ached, I experienced some dull pains in my lower back, and had a bowel movement in the morning; my stools were softer than usual and were greenish/light brownish. My stomach felt a little bloated with air for the rest of the day. I also kept feeling the need to defecate, even though I couldn't- may be constipated? For the following days, up until today, I have been feeling bloated with air most of the time. It's also really difficult for me to release my bowels; it takes me a long time. My stools seem to have changed shape, they are not smaller and thinner, lightish green, and I can't tell if there's blood or not in them, but I did see a slightly pinkish streak on one of them. 2 days ago, my stools had black dots on them, I couldn't tell if those were blood either, and 4-5 days ago, my stools were like pebbles, but dark. Whenever I lie down right before I go to sleep, I seem to experience some dull pains in my lower back, near the rearside of my ribcage. Yesterday, I've found that I've been urinating more frequently, but with less volume. I seem to not be able to hold a lot of urine in my system anymore. This morning, I had to urinate a second time, a few minutes right after I urinated for the first time. It also took me a few seconds to even begin to urinate. What is going on?

Hi,You may have a prostate infection.You need more bran to eat,you need more water to drink about 6 to 8 glasses a day.Get some drugs for the infection,get some bran cereal or oatmeal,drink more water,and see if you get better in a few days.If not go to the doctor you may have to anyway to get the antibiotics.Good luck.
