I am 34 year old female. In the last year I have had a lot of stomach problems. I seem to get frequent stomach pains in my lower stomach. I went to my OBGYN and went through a few ultra sounds and test. There was noting there, he did recommend I see a doctor and ask me if colon cancer was in my family, I said no and nothing more was done. I had my gallbladder removed a few years earlier and ever since then have had frequent bowel movements so I assume that is what it is from.
With in the last 8 months I started having hemorrhoids which was something new, for me. I thought people who got constipated only got this found out that’s not true. I took on a new job about 6 months ago and have been extremely tired all the time and I have assumed this is from the job. I have also been slightly overweight my entire life but in the last month I have lost almost 20 pounds and have not changed my eating habits so I am not really sure how this is happening. My bowel movements are constant almost diarrhea and they happen more frequently like every 20 minutes apart for an hour or so. I can’t even eat with out having to run to the rest room. It is so bad sometimes I can’t make it. I am hardly ever hungry any more and my husband thinks I am starving myself but I just don’t want it. But when I am hungry I eat and have to run to the bath room. I have stomach aces a lot more now also. And have had gas pains and gas a lot more here lately. Which doesn’t make since because I am very careful about what I eat since I have been getting so sick. I started getting a little worried and looked some signs up tonight and it seems I may have a few that are signs of colon cancer.
I read on that having a family history of breast cancer could also increase this. My mom is a 5 year survivor of breast cancer and has several polyps removed over the years. I just don’t know if I am jumping the gun on going to the doctor or not. Guess I just need someone to tell me there opinion.
