Hi guys’ I’m a 25years old girl, for two months now I have been experiencing weird symptoms, started with seeing blood on my tissue paper while passing painful hard stool, stopped after two days, then two weeks later saw, small bloody mucus around my poop, then everything else from then. from straining to pass stool and will end up passing very little to the feeling of never fulling evacuating, to tightness(pressure)of the anus that won’t let me pass gas or poop, to excessive gas (burping) that cause noisy tummy to occasional pain in the pelvis when straining, to the recent one that’s narrow stool, my doctor isn't listening, I did a full blood count, CEA test and ESr test all came back fine but I'm not satisfied, I'm pushing for a colonoscopy but he said no and google is telling me the C word,I’m so scared and anxious, please someone help me explain what that means. Will appreciate it a lot

Hey, this could be hemorrhoids for sure, specially if you noticed blood right after passing a hard stool, and the pain also, this are 100% hemorrhoids symptoms, Don’t panic, I’ll say if the symptoms continues for weeks/months then keep bugging the doctor for a referral for a colonoscopy. If you see blood without being constipated and your stool is not hard then I would be concerned but seeing blood after passing a hard stool it’s just normal hemorrhoids. Also you are very young to think you have a disease such as “C” it’s possible but rare, you will be fine honey. I’m going through the same thing but worse symptoms, I’m just hoping it’s nothing serious :(

Hello Chidera112 ,Thank you for posting and I'm sorry for what you are experiencing.

What did your doctor say that they believe to be the cause of these symptoms?

If you feel something is not right with your body, be your own health advocate to get the tests you need. If that means finding another doctor, that may be what you need to do.

That is good that the tests that were performed came back ok, but it sounds like you think something else is going on. Please know that there are so many potential reasons for what you are experiencing. Colorectal cancer is just one potential reason.

My best advice is to put your energy and focus into getting a colonoscopy, and if that means getting another doctor, then that's what you'll need to do.

Please keep us posted, we're here for you!

Keep on advocating for the colonoscopy! You know your body best and if you feel something is off, better to get it checked out. Your doctor should explain the risks associated with colonoscopy so that you are fully informed in making that decision. I do hope you'll be able to get further testing done soon.

Please keep us posted!
