The main question to you is how is your butt related to mental health? I suppose you're worried too much about colon cancer so you don't know.

However, if you're under 40, I think, you shouldn't worry too much about colon cancer. However, if you're over 40 and your family has a history of colon cancer, you might want to get a yearly exam to check.

Just note that a colon is not at the end of your rectum (ie butt). It's way, way up there, and they look at it by camera which is quite a painful ordeal.

My recommendation is to see a doctor and perhaps see if you can get your stool sampled which might hint at colon problems.

However, be sure to eat plenty of fiber daily and make sure you have plenty of veggies and fruits to eat throughout the day.

Edit: Don't fall for those "colon cleansers" that you see at health stores. While using them once in a while is a "good idea" it could cause worst problems for you. For example, excessive usage of laxatives can cause your colon to become damaged.

So don't fall for tricks. Just go with eating enough fiber and stuff, and don't stress out about colon cancer.  (+ info)
