I'm 16,and I'm writing an exam right now,I'm worried about my bowel movements
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm from India, and school here is pretty frustrating,so I regret this but my diet was a little off for a few months,I even ate stale food,but very few times...I didn't notice the change in my bowel habits at first ( I'm sorry) but here are my symptoms-
- change in frequency of bowel movements (3 times in the morning on average)
- blood in stools (only for two or three days,it has stopped now)
- feeling that I completely cannot empty my bowels(happens ONLY in mornings)
- change in size and shape of the stool (narrower and thin,ribbon-like) ( I did not observe since when but it has been 5 days now,this is what is scaring me 
)
- sudden,sharp pain in my rectum (very rarely,it has stopped too)
- abdominal discomfort (only for a few seconds in the morning)
I told this to my mom and she told me it's just I need to eat more fruits and green vegetables and drink more water,but I'm really concerned as I read lots of articles. Nobody in my family has any such problems.

Jatin- -do get yourself to your doctor and tell him of your symptoms-he may suggest tests - I cannot tell you what is wrong as I am not a doctor.
Do keep us informed of your situation.
Best wishes- hope you'll soon fell well

Well,looking at the symptoms,what do you think ma'am? and what kinda tests will I have to take? and also,most of the symptoms listed are all gone except narrow stools and mild abdomen pains in mornings,but not frequent.

Irritable bowel but I am only guessing-narrow stools(not enough fibre in the diet).
It's not good to imagine the worst - is it ?
If inarrow stools carry on for too long - get professional advice is all I'm saying.
