  • Hello and thanks for your post,

     When any one presents with new symptoms it is always a good idea to have them investigated. There may be a reason for your bleeding from your back passage such as piles but your family doctor needs to rule anything serious out.

    It is good to hear that your appointment has been rescheduled and hopefully you are not having to wait too long. Make a list of your symptoms and when they started so the doctor can get a clear picture of what's happening and whether you need to have some investigations such as a blood test and perhaps a FIT test which you can read about here

    The Patient's Association has written some tips on how to get the most out of your GP appointment which you can see here

    if you would like to talk any of this over with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are welcome to give us a ring.

    Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
