Hello doctor! I am close to my due date and have had mild abdominal pain for the past few days. But today the pain and contractions are worse.

My stomach is painful. I want to be screened for colon cancer but currently, I am breastfeeding my baby (20 months old). So, doctor, can I ask if breastfeeding women can screen for colon cancer?

I am female, 32 years old this year. I have a history of irritable bowel syndrome and internal hemorrhoids. I used to be constipated or have diarrhea. However, for nearly 2 months now, I have been suffering more often, sometimes I can't walk for many days or just after eating, I have diarrhea, liquid like water, sometimes I can't help but leak a little on my pants.
