Yes, but...: So can many other things! in a 24-year-old like you, colon cancer is very unlikely. Inflammatory bowel disease or an infection is more likely. But any time you have bloody diarrhea, it's time to see a doctor!

Yes, yes, yes, yes: It can cause abdominal pain especially for the size, the obstruction or spread especially to nerves and other organs. If it impedes absorption or with secretory activity then it can cause diarrhea depending on type. It can obstruct and can cause constipation. Bleeding is our first clue of workup, due to vascularity, irritation, necrosis, .

Possibly: But likely at age 24. There are many other causes including infection, crohn's, enterocolitis, ........So see your doctor since rectal bleeding is never ok.
