I may well be worrying too much but being a single mother to 2 boys I need to think ahead. I've had the year from hell, a baby 3 months premature, followed immediately by not being able to go to toilet for 30 days. Ever since I've had chronic constipation, even though I'm taking several medications. I had a bowel resection in august last year, as they claimed I had a section of redundant bowel and my bowel was elongated and looped back on itself, so they removed a foot of bowel. That didn't stop my problems and more recently I've had blood when going to toilet and sometimes even just when going for a wee as well as lots of mucus. Today I was sent for a sigmoidoscopy and they found a polyp which they removed. My question is has anyone got any advice or has anyone been through this? Anything would be gratefully received.
