Lower abdominal pain
I am a 30-year-old woman who has recently noticed changes in my bowel habits. I experience loose stools approximately once every two weeks and often feel the need to have a bowel movement shortly after eating. I do not have any blood in my stool, but I do experience intermittent lower abdominal pain. Last year, I had this pain (feels like menstrual cramping) on two occasions and underwent two abdominal ultrasounds, both of which were normal. However, this year the symptoms have returned, and I am now experiencing a persistent dull ache in my lower abdomen and lower back. Could these symptoms be suggestive of a gastrointestinal cancer? Should I undergo evaluation for colon cancer?

Your symptoms are very typical of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) rather than cancer. You are 30 years old, have no blood in stool, both ultrasounds were normal, and the pain pattern mimics menstrual cramping â all of which point strongly toward a functional gut disorder. Colon cancer at this age without bleeding or significant red flag symptoms is highly unlikely.
Next Steps
See a gastroenterologist for evaluation. A stool test and colonoscopy if symptoms persist can confirm IBS and rule out other causes. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
