How do you know if I have anus cancer?

Question

I have been constipated and have diarhea off and on for one year now. When I do poop regular it is ribbon like stool I often feel like I cant get all the poop out but there is nothing there to poop. I have gas and I"m bloated with abdominal cramps but only on the far right side and lower quadrant. I'm 34 yrs of age female. I have no other symptoms other than this poop problem and I have been dealing with Hemmoroids now to plus I have an fissure back there to that never heals. I went to the Doctor and he gave me tucks and suggested sitz bath but that hasnt helped my symptoms at all. Could there be a food allergy to gluten possibly?

Answer 1

I would very much like to know what your diet is like, I am willing to bet you eat a lot of junk food and soft drink. You couldn't possible have those symptoms on a healthy diet surely. Are you overweight? See if you can get a referral to a dietitian or nutritionist. It is not normal at your age to have these problems and it sounds like you are just plain unhealthy.I do not think you have any kind of cancer, I just think you need to have a good look at yourself. (And what the hell are the "tucks" the doctor gave you????)

well, i don't know if you have cancer, the only way to find out is to get a test called a colonoscopy done. do not get a sigmoidoscopy, that's only a partial test.
have you had a colonoscopy? i've had 2 or 3 and it's time to go again.
the fact that your stool is ribbonlike... which to me means flat instead of rounded is a clue something's not right. it may just be your hemmorhoids causing that but then again on the flip side you could possibly have a polyp or worse yet a tumor that may or may not be cancerous.
call a gastroenterologist today and make an apt. for the colonoscopy... at the same time ask the dr. to do a lactose intollerance test (a blood test) to see if you have a problem with the bloating, gas, pain etc. i had that and it's very uncomfortable to say the least.
if it's just your hemmorhoids causing the bowel elimination problem ask that the dr. remove them when you have the colonoscopy done. i've had mine rubberbanded but that didn't help.
please make an apt. today...don't delay, it could save your life!!! my husband had a colonoscopy because his stool didn't look right and the dr. actually saw a large cancerous tumor that almost was blocking off his rectum internally. he was too young for that to happen with no family hx of such a thing. p.s. his regular dr. said after taking a peek "it's just hemmorhoids" so if my husband didn't see the gastroenterologist to have a colonoscopy he wouldn't be here today!!!!!
be persistent and get this taken care of immediately. just call your dr. and make a request to see the gastroenterologist and he's the one that will help you!!!
best of luck......hope all turns out well for you. keep me posted!

I would get blood tested for Food allergies (see an allergist) and then also get tested for Celiac Disease (see a GI), which is NOT an allergy but an autoimmune disease in which the body cannot absorb gluten. If u do have celiac (and your symptoms sure seem like it) u would need to follow the gluten free diet for life.

Feel free to email me for more info on celiac and the gluten free life.

well sorry to get all spiritual on you but the mytaphysical causation means that anything to do with your anus.. means you are seriously having difficulty with letting things go... in your life. maybe you need to do abit of retrospection and self examamin ation to get you through this phase of your life?.
