Concerned , blood clots , blood in stool and abdominal pain

Hi everyone 

I've just been really worried and don't know who to talk to so decided to write here 

I've actually been getting blood on the toilet paper in the toilet and even on my underwear sometimes this had been happening for more then a year now but everytime it would get better in a day or two and I'll let it be as I was too embarrassed to get checked 

but a week ago it happened again also everytime it happened was during or before my periods ( gp said it's not something related to ur periods) this time it was worse i did strain ( which usually I don't it just happens really ) and after that it was burning I just couldn't pass stool it was unbearable I was too concerned as I got blood from the back on my pad aswell so I called the gp explained everything and they called me for a check up when she checked inserted a gloved finger with gel she said u don't have piles or cuts she didn't know what I really had so she just told me to have water and improve my diet really 

after I came home I had pain in my lower abdomen and had blood on the toilet paper without going for poop and when I did go for a stool it was burning again but stool was soft so when u finished I had this blood clot I got scared took a pic to show it to them but this is not the first time I had blood clot I've had it before but it was less and I thought maybe it's periods it was during periods 

also idk what to explain to the dr when they ask about weight loss as I haven't checked my weight so idk but I've lost apitite this time I feel light headed abit aswell  

I've called the gp again and I'm waiting for the dr call I want to know what this is as she didn't explain anything just said it's not piles or cut and she said idk why she looked confused aswell but  then what is it ? What should I do ? Should I go walk in or AandE I really don't know 

please help I'm only 24 

  • Hello there

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you have and appreciate they must be a worry.

    Hopefully the GP will get back to you soon and may have a plan of some tests to run to try and find out more about what may be going on.

    Symptoms can be caused by lots of different things and most will be harmless. Cancer would be extremely rare at your young age so try not to over think things if you can.

    A+E is for emergency care so it is best to speak to your GP again and see what they have to say. I am sure if it is ongoing they will investigate further to try and get some answers but it can take time to work out what the matter is.

    I hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay.

    Take care

    Naomi

  • Thank you so much for ur kind words as I was stressing a lot it's so nice of u and I do hope I get better and know what it is 

    also the gp hasn't called me yet I called again to ask and they said the dr will call u before 6 anywhere since morning I've been twice to the toilet which was really painful again I had blood clots the toilet water was all red though my stool is soft and even after I wipe there's blood even when not passing stool 

    I've been lying in bed all day had to cancel my shift anc I'm afraid to eat anything that I'll have to use the toilet so haven't eaten today I don't feel like eating either 

    hope it gets sorted and thank you so much it means alot
