Well Ive had constipation on and off for a while now. I never made much of it because i would just increase fiber intake and it would subside. The constipation was consisted for a long time (5-6 weeks on off consisting or regular easy bowel movements to hard ones). Then after a while i started noticing some red on the stools figure it was blood, although it was such small amount i didnt make much of it. I then started noticing this white mucus type discharge when I went to the bathroom, but I didnt think much of it.


Now recently Ive been getting these sharp like pain around the colon are and and stomach at completely random times (the pains aren't excruciating they just bother at times like a circular pressure of sorts. My bowel movements have been irregular I took some laxatives and they helped a little but it accompanied with some pin in my left part of my stomach. The blood was a lot more in my recent stool with some white type things and these black things that were in it. I heard the black thing could just be blood, but the white thing could be polyps. I'm really freaking out, Ive told my mom about it but she doesn't seem to be as stressed out about it as i am.


Im really worried it could be some sort of cancer and if it is, I dont want to be to late to treat in case of chances of death are in sight. So please help?



(I have not experienced nausea or fever)

Is your pain near the bottom right of your abdomen? Where is it locatd? There are a few different illnesses that can cause blood and/or mucus in the stool, along with constipation. Here is a link to a website that answers questions about abdominal pain. Maybe it will be helpful.

It would probably be worth it to schedule an appointment with your doctor too.
