43 year old woman, bleeding from the vagina when having a poo

Just been diagnosed with H pylori so on triple therapy to cure this, but finding I am bleeding from my vagina when pooing, had a FIT test come back with blood in my poo. But also a lot of mucus (more than considered normal to me) have an urgent referral to the hospital. But really worried 

  • Hello, and so sorry to hear what is happening to you at the moment.  Naturally you are extremely worried and that is perfectly understandable, but if it is any consolation to you, there are LOTS of  illnesses that mimic the same signs as cancer.  Good with your hospital referral. xx. 

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having and appreciate how this must be worrying for you.

    There can be many different causes for symptoms and most won't be the result of a cancer. However it is important to get these things checked out and the urgent referral your doctor has made will be able to do this.

    Try not to over think for now but rather take things one day at a time and see what the tests you will have show.

    Unfortunately no one can tell you any more for now so sit tight as best you can.

    Wishing you all the best
