I am a 39 yr old female since I was in my eary 20's I always had a frequent bowel patten i.e: once or twice a day never hard and not diaharea. Some times it was a nuisance as I was always gassy and regular. Two years ago after I had my daughter via a Csection my bowel movement became less frequent. still at least once a day but more laboured. About 3 month ago I experience constipation problems for about two weeks. It regulated itself but now a week ago I got started to "cold sweat" and felt light headed and about 1 hour later I had flushing bowel movement. After this over the next couple of days I noticed my bowel movement was sort of firm and now a few day ago my family doctor said she felt a lump on groin area on my colon. She has given me "benefiber' to use for the week and I am to come back for her to feel the area again. Does this necessarily me I should be worried about cancer?

I am overweight, I have mild scoliosis and a pinced nerve in my neck and sciatica in my lower back.
