Hemorrhoids Rectal Cancer
What is the probability of me having rectal cancer at age 20?
Recently I have been experiencing trouble defecating, its not so much constipation as my stools come out soft but I am not going as often as I should even though my diet has not changed. My stool is thinner for some reason and occasionally there is a bit of bright red blood on tissue paper when wiping. I noticed this happened about a month ago but it resolved. Is it internal hemorrhoids, I have to add that I weightlift frequently and have heard that squats can cause hemmorhoids. There is also a feeling of pressure in my lower rectum, but it is not painful. I am scheduled for a check up this friday and hope its nothing serious. Should I be worried that it is cancer? BTW I am hispanic male, not obese nor diabetic and there is no history of colorectal cancer in my family, but there is a history of diabetes and heart disease.
It is extremely unlikely you have colorectal cancer; your symptoms are all likely due to benign causes, such as hemorrhoids, and maybe dietary habits. Having said that, there are always “outliers”, so sounds like your checkup is reasonable. A good rectal exam or perhaps a flexible sigmoidoscopy procedure should provide the answer.
