Hello, i am 20 years old and i have been having worrying symptons lately. For a few days now i have been constipated only able to pass small stools or "deer poop" i also feel like i still have the feeling of going to the bathroom after 30 minutes. Constipation like this has happened to me multiple times before. Also today i noticed light pink mucus when i wiped, should i be worried?

Never noticed blood or narrow stools, have noticed that sometimes the stools come out almost like a C but not always.

    The symptoms of bowel cancer are very non-specific, and are shared with many other more common (and less serious) medical conditions. I'm not a doctor, but to me your symptoms sound like they could all be caused by the constipation. If you are concerned, I'd suggest you speak to your doctor. In the meanwhile, you could try eating fruit and vegetables or taking fibre supplements to relieve your constipation.
