Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms can be caused by several issues including bacterial infection, thyroid issues, bad diet or even colon cancer. Unfortunately at your age, the risk of colon cancer significantly rises. That is why, this condition should be ruled out at first. The possibility of it is low, but as it is most serious from all mentioned, it has to be checked first.
That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it. Colonoscopy should be done at first. Negative colonoscopy result allows to continue diagnostic and rule out other possibilities. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, urine analysis should be done as the next step.
In a meanwhile please start probiotic intake and increase fiber rich products in your diet. For temporal pain relief you may try Buscolisine and Metamizole.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
