Very concerned I have colon cancer *GRAPHIC IMAGE*

[Vonte]

Been having constipation issues for the past month and today I took a poop and there was blood in it. No blood when I wiped but this still is a red alarm for me... I am only 18 and I don't know how I even got colon cancer if it even is it. I have stomach pains here and there but it's nothing too serious. Do you guys think it's colon cancer or could it be something else, please reply I am very terrified right now that i have cancer it's my biggest fear...

First of all try to relax. Call your doctor and let them know what is going on so that you can be seen. It will be ok in the time being add more fiber to your diet and drink more water. Atleast 8 to 10 cups of water a day. Try fruits like blueberries and raspberries. They are high in fiber. Also add more whole grain and wheat to your diet so u don't get constipated. God bless and stay well.

Please contact your healthcare provider and if you do not already have a doctor that specializes in gastrointestinal care, seek one out. Keeping a journal which logs your intake and output can be helpful when meeting with a medical professional. Sometimes this can show a pattern. And I agree with Bull23's advice, try to relax.
