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.

  • Hi,  your post is so similar to mine.  for years had fissures and piles.  So when I have a small bleed I get it checked and it's always a fissure.  I had been fine for a year but  this morning I had more blood than normal.  Went to doctor expecting similar diagnosis but she said no tear.  Ive had to do a FIT test and waiting for results.

    Very worried.  Hope it's just internal piles

  • Yes I don’t usually go as I usually know my own body but after the amount of blood I was loosing I thought it best to mention. They have suggested it’s colorectal cancer on the report but after reading majority of posts it’s very unlikely hopefully that will be our outcomes too! I am sure there probably will be piles found but I just don’t know if that amount of blood for over a month could be from a simple pile.

  • I've had piles 3 times, high up, each time bleeding occasionally over  two weeks, took meds to soften everything and it seemed to clear up.  Diagnosed with colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy.  My fissures I have had for 20 years.  I only go to doctors if I have a bad flare up.  Today seemed different it was the amount of blood.  I had read and googled, come to the conclusion everyone symptoms are similar with different outcomes. 

    .let's hope our outcomes are the same
