Should a 13 year old girl worry she has colon cancer Noticed a lot of bright red blood when you use the toilet and diarrhea a few days and stomachaches Just sent feces sample to be tested?
For a 13-year old female patient seeing blood in the toilet, I would wonder first about your menstrual periods and whether the blood is that. If you had not had your first period before, it can be a bit confusing to see blood in the toilet after you use the bathroom.If you had already been menstruating before (so you're familiar with period bleeding), the only other source for bleeding is rectal. The doctor should know if you've had anal sex, to rule out a tear or cut.Bright red blood means a blood vessel (usually a small one) is actively bleeding. When bleeding has already stopped but "old blood" is still leaking out, the color changes to a brownish color (even period blood does this).The most common cause in a young person for rectal bleeding is perhaps hemorrhoids, which can be inside the rectum or hanging outside the anus. A person who has constipation, who strains to move stool to the outside, can cause one or a few hemorrhoids. IF this is the cause of the bleeding, a test would show the blood is primarily coating the outside layer of the bowel movement. The stool picks up traces of blood as the stool moves through the rectum if the rectum has an internal hemorrhoid. Same with rectal tears or cuts; the blood will coat the outside but not be inside the stool.If a bleed is from a bigger problem, or higher up in the digestive tract, the blood would also be inside the stool (not just on the outside). A stool or feces test looks for trace amounts of blood that we cannot see with the naked eye.It would be very, very uncommon for a young person of 13 years old to have colon cancer. It is an older person's malady more often than in a child or teenager.
