Q: does colon cancer cause diarrhea every other day? im 39?

: While colon cancer is alway of concern there are many other conditions, much more frequent that would cause intermittent symptoms, such as diarrhea. You may want to start keeping track of food and drinks ingested, including inhaled/vaped substances if any as well as symptoms and then start work up under your primary care doc’s guidance.
