I'm 18 and female and for the last few days my bowels have been acting really weird. I have woken up in the morning with stomach pain and gas, only relieved by having a bowel movement. But then afterwards I keep feeling like I still need to go (like my bowels haven't fully emptied) and getting weird stomach cramps every so often. To try and completely empty my bowels every few hours I try and go again but only a small amount comes out after straining and what worries me is that it is soft and narrow. It is just scaring me so much because I no longer get the same normal feeling I used to get when I need to pass stool, instead it is different and I have to strain a bit even though it is soft which is confusing. I also feel like my bowels haven't been completely normal for a while now but these last few days it has been exacerbated more than ever. I'm so worried I have bowel cancer but I'm also scared to go to the GP as I am anxious talking to people face to face and I'm worried I won't be able to explain everything.
