Bowel/Colon Cancer???

For the past few months I've been experiencing some weird symptoms and I'm worrying about them. I woke up one morning and suddenly all this started. I've been farting blood if that makes sense and it often comes as a sudden urge. My bowel movements haven't been normal either with sometimes constipation, diarrhoea or just small bowel movements. I'm only 18 and so worried about the chance of this being something serious like cancer.

    Hey.. if you haven't been to the GP then definitely go as any blood from the back passage shouldn't be ignored. It may not be cancer but better to get it checked out. With bowel cancer early diagnosis is paramount to a cure. Very treatable.

    Hope all turns out well. Don't stress- but get it checked out. Tell the GP about the bleeding and change in bowel habits. That should be enough for them to get you checked out even if it is for something like IBD
