I would say it's pretty unlikely. I had some bowel cancer symptoms over the summer - rectal bleeding, weight loss, some loose stools (maybe once or twice a week) and trapped wind. I am about your age, so the consultant said bowel cancer would be very unlikely, that it was possible with those symptoms, but would be the least likely of all the possible causes.

Given that it doesn't sound like you have either bleeding or a change in bowel habits (which I think are the two main symptoms) and that you are under 40 (I've read that about 99% of cases of bowel cancer are in over 40s), I'd say bowel cancer is very, very unlikely in your case.

I'm no expert, but it really doesn't sound like you have any reason to worry about it.

Thanks mate. I do get very anxious when it comes to Cancer,as Im always on top of my health and eat healthy. 

Did they offer anything to you for a check up? Are you still getting symptoms now or ok?

My abdominal pains have subsided today,and the pain has moved more centralised pelvic area. 

HI FlyingCatfish,

I am sorry to hear of your anxiety. Have you seen a doctor about your symptoms and, if so hae you had any further tests, or what have you been advised?
