Fibroids or hemmroids cause bowel trouble???

[njshep]

A bit concerned abs looking for any similar experiences. Caution. TMI.
Since the birth of my 4th child over 10 years ago, I have had flatter stools. I had brought it up to my gp who confirmed that sometimes the “anatomy changes”. I did have 3 episiotomies including a 4th degree tear if I remember correctly.
More recently I feel that I am having incomplete bowel movements with continued flatter stools. I also can have frequent days of tenderness which I think is a hemorrhoid but can’t see clearly.
I have also been diagnosed with a 5cm fibroid that I am currently waiting to see a specialist for.
of course my concern is colorectal cancer. I’m 50.
I asking if anyone might know if fibroids or haemorrhoids can cause flat stools. It feels that something is in the way. No blood at all but very concerned.
so embarrassing.

I have a lot of fibroids, largest is 12cm. Never had an issue with them impacting stools BUT there are different places and ways for them to be so it could be that we have different fibroids.

Thank you. I’m not sure where the fibroid is located but referred semi-urgent for a specialist consult bc the bleeding is so bad. Hopefully I will find out then if its position might be interfering.
