FIT test? Colonoscopy?

Hopefully I am posting this in the right place. 
I have had problems for years with piles and fissures bleeding, stomach pain, bloating etc. But nothing like this. 
fir a month now I have been bleeding a lot when I say alot I’m talking multiple blood clots big&small. Toilet bowl filled with blood each time. I ignored this due to my history but After I felt a “bulge” I took mysef to be seen. I was checked for piles and fissures and had an examination there and then,nothing. I had bloods taken straight away (al normal) I was also given this fit test and I had a doctor phone me from the hospital ( think he said he was a surgeon) and said my results are significantly high and I need a colonoscopy within 2/3 weeks and to take the first appointment available. He did mention the C word but taking in my age I think this is very unlikely..I am absolutely dreading a colonoscopy I was actually trying to get out of having it done.I struggled just with the examination. Given my history can piles cause this amount of bleeding ? I’ve had bleeding before but only streaks this is like a cup full each time. And my stools have now gone from constipation to full on watery. Still with blood but I have not updated my doctor due to waiting for my appointment anyway do I need to inform them? Sorry for the long post! Thank you if you read this! I will add I’m only 25.

  • Welcome to the forum Bear567 although I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms and for the worry they're understandably causing.

    Unfortunately I can't answer your question about piles in relation to the amount of bleeding you're currently experiencing but fingers crossed your appointment comes through soon and you'll be a step closer to getting some answers and much needed peace of mind.

    If you've noticed your symptoms have changed since you last spoke with your GP, then do let them know as they may be able to chase things up for you.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their thoughts and advice with you soon as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Bear and wishing you all the best with your colonoscopy when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
