Blood in stool??
Question: About 2 1/2 months ago I started getting very bad stomach cramps in the lower and left and right regions of the stomach. In the past 2 months I have passed 5 stolls with blood on them. ( The last one was about 6 weeks ago)
My pains have stopped cramping and have now moved to sharp/ almost pinching/ yet sometimes crampy pains.
I have had several bloackages.
I always feel as if I NEVER have to go to the toilet and I can go days without having to go. I dont have to strain to go either, everything comes easily.
Recently my stools have been thinner then usual. Just a bit thinker then the average pencil. Sometimes I get A REALLY bad pain like up the bum hole (sorry to be so gross)
I AM SEEING MY GASTRO AT THE MOMENT.
I am only 14.
I also get random pains around my body arms/legs
I always feel tired and physically exhausted.
Does this sound like Bowel Cancer?? OR something else??
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answers: Bowel cancer is highly unlikely at age 14 unless you have a rare inherited colon cancer syndrome such as Lynch syndrome, etc. There is a wide array of gastrointestinal disorders which can present with similar symptoms so you will most likely need a colonoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms. Narrowing of the stools is usually caused by a narrowing or obstruction of the colon and can be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, however IBS does not cause blood in the stool.
ulcer man ulcer go get some antacid to much acid in your stomach,dont eat and lay down
Well, my Dad had that and it was a bleeding ulcer. However,
I cannot exactly say what you have, just please go to the specialist and get tests done. Please.
you might have an ulcer or hemorrhoid, or fissure... but it could be many other things
