Sometimes i have to poop 2-3 times in one day but sometimes i won't go for 2 days i also get strong urge to go are the colon cancer symptoms i'm 20?

No.: Unless a LOT of people in your family have colon cancer below age 50. There are genetic diseases that give colon cancer at a young age. If you dont have that in your family and you would know, then colon cancer is exceedingly rare below age 50. Irritable bowel however is quite common.
