Yup. doc visit: Can't fix it until you find out what is wrong. Could be lots of things, including infection, med effects, diet related, inflammation, other. Tumors are possible but quite unlikely in your age group. Nevertheless, get examined.

Yes : You fix it by seeing a doctor, preferably a GI specialist, and determining the cause and treatment options.
