colon cancer???
I am a 23 year old female who for one I can say I don't eat right to begin with! I eat mainly fast food! But I just recently had a baby n I noticed my symtoms while I was pregnant! I had loose stools with mucous in it and sometimes bright red blood on the stool or mixed in with the mucous. I only had blood a few times and it was so little not really anything alarming. But the dr told me he figures I had hemmroids because I had rectal pain as well. Well I had my baby two months ago and at first my bowels seemed normal again they weren't loose they were actually a normal bowel! About a month ago I woke up with diahrrea and went and about the fourth time going only mucous and blood came out! It happened about three times and I panicked! I never had anything like this before! I went to the dr and he did a rectal exam and did say I had a few small internal hemmroids! Now they want me to have a colonoscopy done because I have abdominal cramps as well that come and go. I noticed my stools are soft and sometimes thin bit not pencil thin. I'm just really scared can anyone tell me what they think it might be. I haven't had blood since and I never had enough blood to turn the toilet bowel red ever!! Please give me some opinions I'm very scared!
I'm new to this site and would really appriciate someones advice I've been realiy scared!
