Hello everyone. First of all you can call me Rain. I am 20 years old.

For more than two months now I have been having loose stools, sometimes very loose but sometimes not but still mushy (type 6 in bristol stool chart).

I've also been experiencing stomach gurgling even when i am not hungry.

Also, i feel a constant pressure in my anus like something is in there, a feeling like i need to poop but I can't whenever i try... I can also feel a lot of gas going to my anus but can't seem to pass them as fart.

No constant abdominal pain, very intermittent. What worry me the most are my abdominal gurgling, my stool, and this pressure I feel in my anus.

Can anyone talk to me? To at least calm my mind. I have health anxiety and this has affected me so much, can't even study properly coz i keep on worrying... Does it sound like i have bowel cancer? :/

Hi Rain_ism ,

I just replied to your other post - reading this post in that you are also experiencing other symptoms (pressure in anus, intermittent pain, etc.), it really is a good idea to get checked out.

Please know there are so many possible reasons why you are experiencing these symptoms, the best thing you can do is see a specialist and get checked out.

Keep us posted and make that call for an appointment!

Hi! Sorry to know that you're going through something.... Fortunately, my symptoms are almost all clear now. I only need to watch what i eat not to aggravate my stomach.
