For the last 2 days I have noticed blood on the toilet roll every time that I go to the loo and wipe my bottom. It looks quite fresh, but not really fresh if that makes sense.
I have also noticed that my stools have been getting looser and looser then I get a bit bunged up for a few days. This has been going in for the last 4 or 5 months. Last week, I started getting less and less warning of needing to open my bowels and lost control on one occasion.
I have also had a horrible pain intermittently deep inside my rectum for the past 6 months or so. I have mainly had it at night and usually during my period, I've only noticed it twice or 3 times each month. It wakes me at night and is like an intense bruised / pressure type sensation. My tummy is feeling bloated and I look about 4 months pregnant!
There is a history in my family of bowel cancer and I'm trying not to presume the worst. I have tried prebooking a Drs appt using the automated system over the weekend, but the first available appt is a week on Monday! I'm working every day this week so doing the usual ring (and ring and ring again until you get through) at 8am every day to get one of the few appts that they release each day is going to be tricky.
I'm not sure what I'm hoping to achieve by posting, but writing it all down is good.
