I Am Going Crazy On Thinking Whether I Have Colon Cancer Posted: 03-12-05 01:35am
Hai guys,i am 20 years old male and I got
diarrhoea when I took antibiotics for
allergic rhinitis ,i took doxy and ketasma
and each time I took these tablets I
experienced pain in my lower abdomen and
then I took azithromycin and my problem
started,i started to have diarrhoea with
mucus all these happened in december 2004
I had this diarrhoea for one month as I
would excrete only once or twice in a day
and then I went to a local doctor january
10 2005 as I experienced some pain inside
my lower left rib cage and for diarrhoea
the doctor gave me
ciprofloxacin,furozolidone and ranitidine
tablets and then I got my stools
right,then after one month on febraury 9 I
had heartburns, nausea and vomitting with
diarrhoea with mucus,i went to the doc
again and he admitted me in the hosp and
carried out an endoscopy(gastroscopy) and
diagnosed moderate antrium gastritis and
mild bulbar duodenitis and treated me with
cefotaxime and ranitidine intravenously
and then I felt better and got discharged
from the hosp.Then again I had diarrhoea
with mucus immediately after the hospital
phase.I experience some pain in lower
abdomen only while excreting and I have
diarrhoea with mucus only in the mornings
after drinking water and I also experience
some pain in lower abdomen.I have shed 5.5
kgs in last three months but I am still on
diet.The doc says that I have ibs and
treating me with lomotil and pantprazole
20mg.But still I get mucus in my stools.I
must stress this point that when I excrete
the first half of the stool comes in a
solid way and then the other half is loose
motion with mucus.I also experience
hairloss in my head legs etc.I feel hungry
some times and loss of appetite sometimes
I continuously belch for nearly two hours
after meals.I feel debilitated and also
pain in my muscles.I have also tested for
leptospirosis and the titre value for
microscopic agglutination test is 100.Guys
should I have colonoscopy and please help
me with your valuable advice.I get foul
smell from my mouth often.Please help me I
am very afraid whether I am afflicted by
colon cancer.

Push your dr for a colonoscopy. The good
news would be threr is nothing wrong and
you can relax, the other side of the
coin...It can be treated. Don't prolong,
if you are not satisfied, seek another
opinion!!

Sounds like you might have colitis caused
by the antibiotics. This can be treated
with flagyl.
