How common is bowel cancer in a 16 year old? i sometimes get sudden pains around the anal/"gooch" area? i get health anxiety
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common at all.: Bowel cancer would be extremely unlikely in a 16 year old. The symptoms also don't point to that diagnosis. There are other minor causes which are possible. Please see your doctor to be examined and let you know if there's anything wrong. Try not to worry meanwhile.
