Please help because my primary care doctor said she had seen it before and its very rare.
Bleeding from the rectum is one but has to be dark red. Bright red is usually from hemorrhoids. They can tell if you have cancer or fibroids by having a colonoscopy.
Blood with stool, abdominal pain. it is easy to mix with other diseases, so if unsure, get screening by doctor.
Highly unlikely, but possible. you are at risk if there are close relatives who had this form of cancer before. if not, I would not be concerned till 30-40 years.
Is there anything unusual in your colon? you can undergo colonoscopy first and see if there's anything alarming before thinking of colon cancer. Also, colon cancer doesn't come with age, it depends on your lifestyle and the food that you eat
rectal bleeding, abdominal pains, change in bowel habits (diahorrea or constipation), feeling of not having fully emptied ur bowels
yes u can have it in ur 20s, i'm 20 and have it, but its rare
only a FAMILIAL form and it is rare, it is most likely irritable bowel syndrome!
