Hi everyone,
i hope I can find some answers here as I have been driving myself crazy with anxiety.
Following visible blood in my stools + a positive FIT test in July 2022, I was referred for a colonoscopy at the end of August which came back negative appart from a few hyperplastic polyps and small 1st degree internal haemorrhoids. The bleeding continued and stomach pains, loss of apetite and nausea came on top, I asked my GP to be referred back which they refused as they said my colonoscopy was clear so there was no need for more tests.
I ended up going private to HCA and did another colonoscopy & endoscopy privately in November which also were clear.
I've also had an abdominal MRI in November which showed nothing and a capsule endoscopy in March to check the small bowels.
Since then the bleeding increased to nearly every bowel movement, I now have constant stomach pain and I'm extremely tired all the time along with crazy night sweats. Im not constipated or strain so I'm a bit loss for explanation.
I went to a proctologist to get the internal haemorrhoids lasered in a hope that it would stop the bleeding but that hasn't worked.
I feel like I've done every exam I could do? Should I push for another colonoscopy since it's been 6 months since the last one?
I've read really worrying medical studies about Post Colonoscopy Colorectal Cancer that can appear in the interval between 2 tests...
If anyone has any suggestions on what should I do next as Im going insane and extremely depressed about all of this..
