  • Have you spoken to your GP? As Freya said, these symptoms can be caused by many things and at your age, colon cancer would be extremely unlikely. I have read that it generally takes about 10 years for a polyp to develop to the point that it becomes cancerous and even polyps would be unusual at your age.
