Colon Cancer


Colon Cancer?
Could this be cancer... I think i have Hemorrhoid cause every time i wipe there is blood (sometimes a lot.. sometims very little).. i found out that is only last about a week (i think) and i think i had it a least a month or more... Sometimes i get cramps when i don't have my period... Could this be colon cancer? I am also 14.. i had a CT scan like have a year ago.. and there was nothing adnormal... I alsos train a lot on the toilet sometimes have hard constipated stools.. But i don't go everyday.. like maybe once every 2-3 days.. I also really.. really don't want to tell my parents or go to the doctor if it's not seriuos... When i strain myself when i don't need to go.. there is blood on the paper even when nothing comes out.. The color of the blood differes from dark red to a light red

No one on here can tell you if it's cancer or not, but I would suggest visiting your doctor. There might be something going wrong up there so they might do a colonoscopy and find some strange polyps or so. My personal opinion, visit your family doctor, no need for a rush, but make an appointment ASAP. Good luck!

It sounds like normal symptoms of constipation which causes the hemorrhoids . Before you freak out, just try some over the counter hemorrhoid cream. Also try to increase the fiber in your diet. Maybe try Metamucil or some other fiber supplement. Drink at least 8 cups of water a day - that also helps with constipation. Get some exercise. You also could buy an over the counter stool softener like sennakot. The cramps you experience are also probably related to your constipation. It is doubtful that this is cancer - especially since you have been having trouble with constipation. However, if things aren't better in a week or two of doing the above, make an appointment with your family doctor.
