Rectul problem

[daadaa123]

Hello.
I am 23 years old. i have been having problems with my bowel for the past year. First it was due i would say to constipation i would take some colon cleaners that helped then i had a mild hemoroid (but never went doctor) i just started excersing and eatign healthier it got a litle better didnt bug me. Then this past may i started having the urge to make a bowel movement even to urine and couldnt.....i think i prob strained too much well now i feel like my bowel is really abnormal it looks abnormal and my lower back starts to hurt and i always have gases in my stomach but unable sometimes to pass the gas i just feel clogged up i would take some digestive stuff it would work but still mucous and stuff i feel like come out instead. what is wrong with me, i am too embarrassed to go to the doctor and even scared to see what i have...will this go away are there any home remedies? or what can it be im thinking it might be some ployps or idk....just been feeling very uncomfortable and my left stomach is painful when i press on it and hard sometimes too

Do get to a doctor.  At the least there has to be a remedy for discomforts you describe.
As dedeadoresu said you will probably be put through various tests and if your insurance covers it @ your age, a colonoscopy is the test to have. The preps are much easier now, and you will be asleep:).
The longer you put up with your problems, the higher your anxiety level will be.
You don't mention seeing a doctor at all.  I recommend, if insurance allows, to self refer yourself to specialist who deals with digestive woes.
Best,
Ann

Please you need to go to the doctor. Do not be afraid they will not do anything invasive on your visit. They will probably schedule you for a colonosopy  {Which you are put to sleep for }  This way they can check your whole bowel and intestine area's. Early Prevention is the key Take care Suzanne

Hi,

Let me encourage you not to be embarrassed to go to the Dr., they deal with this stuff all the time. It could be a really easy solution and you could feel better in no time. If it's more serious, then the sooner you get in the better!

Best wishes!
