Recently I have noticed a change in bowel
habits. First diarrhea, alternating with
constipation.
I went to the doctor on thursday, and she
did an abdominal exam. She said I have a
"mass" right where my sigmoid colon is.
I also have a dull heavy pain there, that
comes and goes, and is usually relieved
with a bowel movement. (but then it comes
back.)
i am only 26 years old and am afraid I
have colon cancer.
I have been reading on the internet that
pain in this area could signify
diverticulitis.
The pain is not severe, it comes and goes,
usually in waves, but it's a dull, heavy
feeling.
Of course I am going to have tests done,
ct scan.
Any opinions?

Colon / Diverticulitis Posted: 07-03-04 22:27pm
Could be diverticulitis. I had the same
problems. Eventually infection set in and
caused a fistula between the sigmoid colon
& the bladder. Was not too much fun
having your digestive gases enter the
bladder. I suggest you eat sufficient
fibre & possibly a colon cleanse and
see what it does for you. You don't want
it to get too far.
Please get back with more details of the
scan/mri. Homeopathic medicine has good
remedies to get rid of amoebiasis,
ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel
syndrome etc.If any.
