COLON CANCER?? or something wrong
The past few days when I have gone to the bathroom, I have noticed a orange colored substance that floats at the top of the water. Sort of like oil droplets. I've noticed these before but they usually go away, but I've had them for the past few days. My grandpa had colon cancer, I'm only 22 but wondering if I should be concerned?
I work for an GI doc and you would probably have more symptoms then this. I do though recommed finding a good GI doctor in your area and let them know of your Family History. They may want to do a Colonoscopy and its not bad the worst part of everything is the sitting in the bathroom the day before. SO relax but be aware. Good Luck! :)
at your age, it's unlikely to be anything as serious as cancer. the previous poster is correct: it could be some sort of inflammatory bowel issue. could also be an absorbption issue with your liver. let your doctor sort it out.
