Health anxiety but low pain tolerance

I want to know if anyone is going through anything similar.

I'm so scared of something being missed in tests but then I also have low pain tolerance and doctors haven't been able to properly do medical procedures (rectal exam and abdo ultrasound) on me since I kept getting in so much pain and panicking when they tried. I'm so angry at myself for ruining my chances of getting an early diagnosis if I had something abnormal. 

My symptoms are blood in stools, blood when passing wind, pain when eating, abnormal vaginal bleeding, faecal and urine urgency. Very abnormal for me. I constantly keep thinking of these symptoms and keep thinking the worst for what they could be. I've always been so careful as I was sooo scared of getting ill. I've always had balanced diet, maintain good hygiene, never drink alcohol, never smoke etc

    Hello Amelia98 and thanks for posting, 

    I am not sure if anyone will come along who is going through something similar, but in general, cancer isn't very common in people of your age, so hopefully something else will turn out to be causing your symptoms. For now, and I know this can be difficult, try not to fret over them or the problems you have had with having medical procedures. When you have the chance, talk things over with your GP to see what they suggest and tell them about your concerns.  

    Best wishes,
