Hi,
Ive have been worried sick for 4 weeks now. . Passed a hard stool four weeks ago and new i had aggiated by pile. After wpiing blood on paper and in toilet. Even managed a photo of pile which showed a paper cut leaking blood(dont ask how i did that, lol!) . My worries eased. I consulted doctor who gave me creams etc which clamed things done. Then started to google about FOB test you can use to detect blood in stool. Bought one off internet and all clear. Then googled again as various forums were saying 3 tests should be done on three different occasions. . Purchased more tests and now have had three positive results. I see my GP in two days and am worried sick. I know my pile could have caused this but what wil my GP do, straight for colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopey. I suffer from health anxiety and late father had bowel cancer aged 70 , I am 51. I have no other symtoms just the pile which has bleed on two occasion that i have seen in th past 7 months. No weight loss, no tiredness. I feet fit but now worried something is up and i have bowel cancer. Its taking over my life. Do FOB tests only detect blood from something that is cancer and not a pile?
