Possible colon or bowel cancer?

[Rare678]

Hi so I am a 22 year old male with no immediate family history of cancer, but on Monday I started having constipation issues, then that night I had some diarrhea and after that day till now I have been constipated. My usual habits are once maybe twice a day with healthy sized poops I guess you can say. But since Monday they have been smaller than usual and a little harder to go to the restroom. I don’t have any pain, when I am sitting down I kind of having a fullness feeling in my anal region but I don’t know if that’s from straining or anxiety flaring up. I also have noticed I have had more gas than usual, it doesn’t always smell but sometimes it does.  No blood in stool nor on toilet paper and it’s a light brown color. If anyone could respond to me with their experiance that would be great, thank you.

It is unlikely that you have colon cancer given your age, but it is possible you have infectious and/or inflammatory bowel disease. If your symptoms persist, consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further workup and management.
