Sorry in advance of the details, I’m a bit concerned and I don’t want to waste doctors time if I can treat it at home myself so I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on what’s wrong with me.
I’ve been having stomach cramps for around a month, I go to the toilet as normal, sometimes some constipation which improves after a few days. I assumed IBS so began watching what I ate, but nothing has changed. The pain would sometimes be so bad I could describe it as contractions during labour, but it would eventually stop after a few hours.
It went away for about a week but today I went to the toilet after the pains began and the bowl was full of blood when I got up, definitely not my period but looked like it was. The bleeding stopped within 5 minutes, and I’ve had some mild constipation type cramps since. Feeling a bit light headed, but that may not be related.
Should I be concerned? It’s never happened to me before. NHS website says it is an emergency as it could be internal bleeding, but with everything going on right now I don’t want to waste their time and I’ve been ok since it happened.
Is there anything I can do?
Sorry again for all the graphic details. Thank you
