  • Hello. 

    Because you are writing on here you must be thinking about cancer. I really don't think you need to worry about it at your age. There could be lots of reasons for your symptoms, possibly constipation.  Do you eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and veg and fibre and get plenty exercise?  Maybe something to think about and if things don't improve speak to your GP though you might have to wait given the current situation and the overstreched NHS.

    Good luck and kind regards.
