I had intense bowel cancer anxiety not so long ago, went to the docs and I did a stool test and that came back clear (no blood). She also gave me a rectal exam and that was fine too. I mentioned the discomfort/weird feeling and she didn't seem worried as the lower left is where the large colon was, or something. I asked her to feel around that area and she didn't feel anything.
I just don't know what could be causing this. I've had a pelvic US, transvaginal ultrasound and abdo ultrasound last year and they were all fine. I just can't stop panicking.
Any input would be much appreciated.
