Hi,
WARNING: This might be a bit graphic
For the past two months I've had flat ribbon shaped stools, when I have a BM. I've been looking it up the symptom and everything is pointing to bowel cancer (colon cancer, colorectal cancer).
I have all the risk factors except age(I'm 23) and all the symptoms;
Obese
Unhealthy diet
No excersise
No energy
Blood in stool
Abdominal pain
Feeling of not emptying bowels
Ribbon shaped stool
I saw my GP about 6 months ago for blood in my stool and said I had a fissure and just said to use anusol, which helped at the time. But this new symptom is terrifying me.
I plan to go and register at the Dr's tomorrow and get an appointment.
Has anyone had similar symptoms? What was the cause?
Thanks,
James
