Hi doctor, I am 26 years old male. My weight is 244 lb and height is 5 feet 10 inches tall. I have anxiety for almost three years now. I read almost everyday about cancers and my symptoms. I had a blood test six months back and everything came back good besides the white blood cells which were 11.3 and they told me that it is not something to be of concern. I do have diarrhea sometimes. I have a hemorrhoid problem too. I am feeling fatigue but mostly when I have stress or when I think about cancers. My pee in the morning only is kinda orange color. I am having little pain on left side under the rib. I read that it can be spleen cancer. Also, I have little bit pain on right side under rib which they say it can be liver cancer. So, my concern is I might have colon cancer or prostate cancer or spleen or liver cancer. I do not know why I am feeling this way. I still can eat good and drink, it did not effect me. Please try to answer my question in the best way possible.
Hi. I understand your concerns. I will explain some facts. Most cancers are painless and cause gradually progressive symptoms like for example: Your symptoms are less likely to be due to cancer. The dark orange urine in the morning is common due to dehydration over the night. You should drink plenty of fluids. The pain in the left side could be muscle spasms or other causes like a kidney stone or colon spasms require further assessment. Can you describe the pain? Is it colicky or wake you up in the middle of the night? The pain on the right side could be muscle spasms or gallbladder stone or kidney stone (require further assessment). Finally, as there are no suggestive symptoms of cancer and you do not have a strong family history of cancer, so you should not worry about this issue. In case you have anxiety that you cannot control, I can suggest you some medications. For more information consult a family physician online -->
