I’m 29 years old, female and worried I’ve got bowel cancer. I sometimes get a twinge / pain on my right hand side, where my appendix USED to be. It doesn’t hurt; it just feels a bit uncomfortable. I had my appendix removed 18 months ago and had a CT scan with contrast at the same time, which showed appendicitis. I sometimes feel pressure down below and like I need to pass wind.
I don’t have any other symptoms, other than sometimes I go to the toilet more and sometimes I go less, but I’ve always been like that.. I think.
There’s no blood, no weight loss, no fatigue, no loss of appetite.
AIBU to myself by worrying so much? - I can’t bring myself to go to the GP as I know they’ll fob me off because of my age, and I can’t pin point what the pain feels like or how often it is.
