Can trouble clearing bowels be a symptom of colon cancer?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

On considering your age, the possibility of having cancer is unlikely. There is nothing to worry about.

Constipation is a widespread problem, and the chance of cancer is unlikely to occur in this age group. So do not think about this disease. Cancer usually occurs at an older age, with alternating constipation and diarrhea. It happens with blood in stools, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Their profile would be entirely different.

You can have hypothyroidism-induced constipation. You should do a TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) to see the thyroid control.

1. For that, you should eat a high-fiber diet with fruits such as apples, bananas, and oranges; green leafy vegetables like spinach; and raw cucumbers.

2. Avoid taking refined food, fatty food, and oily food.

3. You should take plenty of fluids and do regular exercise.

4. Take 15 milliliters of Lactulose syrup at bedtime to maintain soft stools. Use it when there is a need.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Having a drastic change in dose leads to hypothyroidism symptoms. It is likely due to the thyroid only. You need a dose increment. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) always gets changed every four to six weeks.

So do a TSH test after six weeks of a dose change. You can try Lactulose or Cremaffin Plus (Sodium picosulfate, Liquid paraffin with Magnesium hydroxide) to get relief from constipation.

Do not worry. First, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) should be measured for at least six to eight weeks after a dose change. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) takes time to attain a stable level. So after having four weeks of dose reduction, your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) will be raised, and it will reach a plateau at six to eight weeks.

So you should continue to take 12.5 mg (milligrams) and repeat TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) after three to four weeks.

Most likely, you will get stabilized on a dose of 25 to 37.5 mg (milligrams). The jump in dosage from 25 to 62.5 can cause the problem. Do not conceive until the TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) gets normalized. Try to see an endocrinologist. Also, have a dose on a regular basis and take a tablet for at least 30 minutes before breakfast. Avoid taking it with other medicines like antacids.

Likely just a skin thickening. Nothing to worry about. However, get it examined by a local doctor once you visit a doctor next time; it is nothing urgent. This thickening occurs from repeated friction and rubbing while sitting or wearing footwear, etc., so it is not worrisome.

It disappears because it must be just skin thickening and becomes prominent at certain angulations. Does not appear worrisome.
