Polyps in Bowel

[Sortmylifeout52]

Anyone had these?
What were your initial symptoms?

I'm struggling with bowel movements and have been blaming it on a subserosal fibroid, pressing on my bowel.

Now I'm wondering if it's polyps in bowel or colon?

Did u do a qfit test ?
Sometimes that flags them

Polyps may not necessarily be large enough to cause a change in bowel habit. I had a colonoscopy after having a positive FIT test and had a polyp removed that was 3mm in size, so tiny. Even so, your symptoms need investigation if they’re ongoing.

B12 deficiency can cause some bowel stufff for some people - like lotsa lose bowel

Definitely good to qfit test
And colonoscopy

There are also immediate yes / no bowelcancer tests 4 sale

Do you use a lot of scented candles or eat a lot of fibre?

Both of which can slow the movement of the bowel.

I didn't know that re candles.

4 me fibre speeds up bowel stuff

It's not me - my stepdad. He has lost a lot of family to bowel cancer and I'm worried.

He's retired and I don't think he has any scented candles.

Another colonoscopy in jan 2024 4 me.
My third in 8 months
