Sorry, posting for traffic as I really need to know if anyone has been through similar. Also NC for this.
warning for TMI 💩
Since around last summer I have passed blood after BMs. Sometimes thick like period blood, other times fresh red blood. It was intermittent and I usually clocked jt around my period so thought it might be endo.
had bloods, calprotectin, colonoscopy and colposcopy - absolutely nothing showed up, completely clear.
fast forward 3 months after all tests and the bleeding is now every day, usually once per day when I go to the loo. It is often thick and dark red (like period blood) and muscousy. Sorry 🙈 I went to the doctor last week who basically said if it’s reassurance you want I’m telling you if nothing showed in all of these exams then there’s nothing sinister going on and it’s probably just piles. I can’t feel piles, don’t have that sort of pain and can’t believe that amount of blood and the consistency would be caused by piles.
has ANYONE been through similar?! Am I meant to just ignore it? Help!
to add, 3 years ago I had a very traumatic birth. Failed forceps, failed ventouse and eventual emergency section. Not sure if they’ve just messed up my innards as my periods only returned last summer shortly before symptoms arose
