I’m 24 my symptoms were; blood in stool, black parts of stool (no iron pills), gas pain, thin stools, diarrhea at times, I convinced myself I had colon cancer and spent a month depressed I finally got a colonoscopy after giving birth and it was clean and I only had one hemorrhoid. My point is stressing doesn’t help just see a doctor for peace of mind

Precisely. Colon cancer shares all symptoms with other diagnosis, so even the most brutal symptoms do not mean colon cancer. The odds are imcreasing with an advanced age. Vast majority of symptomatic people do not have colon cancer or even any other more serious digestive issues. Vast majority of rectal bleeding is due to damage to colon wall through lifestyle and peristaltis. Thus haemmorhoids and fissures. Yet, it is great to have colonoscopy, because it can help with haemmorhoid removal or removal of small bleeding polyps that in later age may turn cancerous. Do not stress, eat lot of fibre, apply suppositories or ointments and go for colonoscopy as healthy future investment Most importantly do not stress. Health anxiety can be pretty obnoxious.

I would advise scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider. There are many tests available, including FIT, FOBT, Barium Enema, Sigmoidoscopy, Virtual and Traditional Colonoscopy. For additional information on screening, symptoms and prevention, visit: GlobalCCA.org
