How old do you have to be to develop colon cancer? -
01-27-2009, 01:53 AM
I'm 22 years old and I'm having some problems. I have streaks of blood in my stools and I;m having a hard time going to the bathroom. I keep getting constipated. I eat fiber rich oatmeal and fiber bars almost everyday and I still have issues. I'm constantly bloated and gassy. Could this be colon cancer?

The most sensible thing would be to go to the doctors.You dont have to be any age to get cancer. You can be in a"danger"age, where its more common, but you arent ruled out solely by your age. If your passing blood in any way, get straight to your doctors for professional advice!

No. If it is red blood then it is hemorrhoids or rectal tear. You are not gettin enough fiber or you need to drink more water to go with the fiber. Get some fiber one or citrucel and use it every day. once the rectal tears heal up, you will feel better. It is not impossible to have colon cancer at 22, but almost zero percent chance. colon cancer is rare under the age of 50. What you have described are not the symptoms of colon cancer at all. If the bloating is very bad, you may be lactose intolerant or have a problem with wheat digestions.

My mum's boyfriend had those symptoms and is now in the hospital after severe surgery, his whole colon has been removed, he has pipes everywhere in his body and can't eat solid food's for a while, when he does it comes back up in a violent vomit along with blood. He is the nicest man around and something like this happens. He could have died, but they said could be piles and it was something other than cancer, but it turns out it was., if he went to hospital sooner they could have prevented this.Please go get yourself checked, i wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.

Hello Friends,
No. If it is red blood then it is hemorrhoids or rectal tear. You are not gettin enough fiber or you need to drink more water to go with the fiber. Get some fiber one or citrucel and use it every day. once the rectal tears heal up, you will feel better. It is not impossible to have colon cancer at 22, but almost zero percent chance. colon cancer is rare under the age of 50. What you have described are not the symptoms of colon cancer at all. If the bloating is very bad, you may be lactose intolerant or have a problem with wheat digestions. Thanks and Regards, Milon Jones kfucoidan.com |
