Have name changed for this as embarrassed
On Friday morning, I passed some blood when I went for a poo. The blood was on the toilet paper and in the poo itself and was bright red. It didn't happen again when I went to the toilet yesterday or today.
I saw my GP immediately on Friday as I was terrified. There was no pain when the blood was passed- and I know there is usually pain with an anal fissure or with piles.
I've recently had my second child though didn't have any constipation or piles during pregnancy- though i did have a c section after which I was constipated for a few days. I've been going to the loo daily since then, as normal, and my diet hasn't changed.
I had a stomach bug last week for a couple of days but it cleared up quickly.
Not sure what my question is really- just looking for advice and reassurance. Can piles be painless if they are internal? My GP did a quick examination and said she couldn't feel anything like piles- and also could feel no lumps etc in my tummy. I've been referred to a gastroenterologist and had blood and urine samples taken which I'm waiting for the results of.
I'm so worried about dying of bowel cancer and leaving my two little children
