PR bleeding

Hi

Im just wanting some advice here. Had PR bleeding and a feeling of a lump in back passage when passing a poo alongside extreme pain. 

Ive been to GP she thought it might be haemorrhoids at first and gave me anusol with steroid in and told me if no improvement to come back. Well today I went back had PR exam she cant feel any lump but is referring me to hospital as she said she is at a loss what is causing these symptoms.

On exam notes said the postior wall was firm. 

Anyone else had similar symptoms?

  • Hello Claire41b

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health problems. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned at the moment. 

    It's good to know that your GP has already referred you for further investigations of this bleeding and hopefully, you won't have to wait too long to see the specialists. 

    We know that waiting for appointments and tests can be a worrying time for many people. Sometimes it can help to chat things through with someone. If you think that it may be helpful to talk with one of our nurses you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

    Do keep in touch Claire and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
