Last night I was plagued with terrible cramping, leading to a normal bowel movement, then to a significant amount diarrhea. All night I had nagging cramps and woke up gassy. I finally passed a small amount of looser stool and I noticed blood in it. I put on kitchen gloves and examined it (GROSS, sorry) and realized there was a clear/cloudy mucous and a bit of blood mixed in with it. I’m concerned as I’ve just read a WebMD article where a 27 year old woman had a similar problem, spanning over 6months, and it turned out to be colon cancer. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, I usually don’t have any gastrointestinal issues. I’m a few days away from my menstrual cycle and I usually don’t get cramps before hand but that’s what these cramps feel like. There is no pain/itching near or around my rectum, no soreness whatsoever. I’m a healthy, 23 year old female. What could this be? Those are my only symptoms. Please and thank you.
