Havnt lost weight yet. My mom had 3 polyps removed recently, my dad had some removed in 3 colonoscopies. My grandfather died of colon and prostate cancer

Thank you doctor. I am having serious anxiety issues with having procedure done.

I am having multiple symptoms here but my doctor keeps saying it’s IBS. I had to go to get a second opinion myself but the colonoscopy is 2 months out :/ I’m 35 with a one year old. Very very frustrating

Omg. I have an appt with colon and rectal surgery Aug 10th. The ER Dr diagnosed me with hemorrhoids on the inside, but I think they are wrong. Also have changed in BM and cramps.

Hi 🙋‍♀️. I was wondering if you could help me and tell me if these symptoms I have should be checked out???


Well first thing, i have had blood in my stool, and when it first happened there was alot, and then after about 2 days or so, the blood stopped. But today it has come back but its not as much as the other time. And another thing is, idk if i have anemia but i have had these random times where i felt super light headed and dizzy out of no where. Another thing is, ive been bloated to the point where even i thought i was pregnant (even tho i have never had ¡ntercourse). I have had alot more symptoms but i wont waste any more of your time. Oh and btw, im younger than 19 which is why im unsure as to why this may be the case. Could you please help me?

I am so worried that I have colon cancer.
A few weeks ago I discovered blood in the stool on several different occasions.
Rectoscopy shows no hemorrhoids but blood tests show anemia caused by iron deficiency.
Stool samples show blood and inflammation value of 491 (reference value should be below 80).
I have hard stools and poo several times a day (previously it was every 4 days).
I am so incredibly tired and have heart palpitations.
I am 39 years old.
What could it be if it's not cancer?
I am so afraid that it will be something serious

I need to make an appointment because I’m in lots of pain and I have most of not all symptoms.
