Q: Should I Be Worried?

Hey guys,

i'm 26 years old and since a few years I had some blood in my stool. I didn't think much about it but a few months ago I went to the toilet. After I was done I had severe abdominal pain something fellt really wrong stirring in my bowels and I had to go to the toilet again. The only thing that came out was blood. I haven't gone to the doctor yet because I think it's kinda embarrassing to talk about it. It didn't happen again but now it's kinda nagging me and i'm not sure if this is serious or not.

I think you should really see a doctor, cause you say when you went to the bathroom all that came out was blood. This could be cancer.. So I think you should get checked out. Early detection could save your life.

I think u should get urself checked. Better safe than sorry. And dont believe the myth that colon cancer only happnes above the age of 40 or so. I am 23 years old and had a close call.

Good luck
