I’m worried about cancer

[Based14]

Well I’m going through some lower Abdomen pain or discomfort and I’m scared that it might be colon cancer I have not got any blood in my stool only when I wipe and my anus always itch and it burns. And sometimes i get pain in the Center of my abdomen. I went the the hospital cuz of the pain they did a CT scan with dye and and blood work and everything came back normal they looked at all my organs and said they did not see anything abnormal. This was about a year ago when this was done and the doctor said to see a GI doctor if there’s something going on in the colon. I’m scared to death I have kids and I’m 32 years old and I’m worried that it might be cancer I need help can someone help me

You really need to see your GP, and get a referral to a gastroenterologist, as he is the best person to diagnose your problem. The big ray of sunshine that does come through, though, is your bloods were normal, whereas with cancer they would generally be showing some signs of abnormal activity. The quicker you contact your GP, the sooner you will know the reasons for your discomfort. Good luck.

Get to the doctor and get checked. If for no other reason than to put your mind at ease. Plus finding out what is causing your discomfort has to be a good idea. Pretty much every thing out there is easier to treat if you catch it earlier, rather than later. Get it checked asap

I have the same issues but maybe look into controlling anxiety and histamine levels..I have been dealing with Pruritus ani for 9 years (itchy asshole) and have found no relief except anti histamines (allergy medication: levocetrizine). I’ve seen numerous specialist, underwent surgery, used all the creams and steroids..with no results. A year ago ibs-d started with constant diarrhea and stomach pains. I also have chronic headaches...haven’t found a doctor to link all of my conditions but I have been on Viberzi for my IBS for almost a year but recently stopped and I also have recently been put on anti anxiety medication and am avoiding my trigger foods for ibs (mainly tomatoes and fermented foods is what I’ve found makes it worse, which are also high in histamines) I haven’t had a flare up of the IBS yet except the other day when I ate some Chick-fil-A sauce that has tomatoes paste in it :/ I hope you find some relief! How is your stool consistency? I wouldn’t worry if you aren’t bleeding. It also could be gas causing the pains! I struggle with that as well, I try to stay away from high acidity foods like citrus fruits or anything with citric acid, tomatoes, coffee..just do a little research and maybe try cutting back on those things! May help the itch as well!
