Hi
I saw the GP last week as had blood in my stools (I'm fairly sure I've had this before but thought nothing of it rather like when a poo might cause a slight scratch on the way out? Sorry yucky conversation).
This time it hurt deep inside and I can still feel it slightly 3 days on and still getting slight blood on poos but not as much.
Our GP is great and was v thoughtful- not dismissive- and decided after weighing the risks as im only in my 30s versus putting me through rectal examination/ colonoscopy etc it was best to leave it for now.
I know he's right and wonder if anyone's been in a similar boat?
I have had gut issues for years from not realising I can't tolerate grains/ maybe coeliac so ate damaging foods for a long time. And am pooing a bit more than normal and very tired but the tiredness isn't new.
I'd pay not to have a rectal exam (!!) but also feel v cautious as have young children
