Hi all
I’ll try to keep this as short as I can ;)
I am in my 50’s
symptoms - visible blood mixed in my poo. There was some mucous at times
I have a long history of chronic constipation and sometimes not going for 2 weeks
my fit test was 400
My calprotectin test was negative
I have been given iron supplements
I had a colonoscopy last week and my paperwork says
1 x 3mm polyp removed from my splenic flexure
4 x 12mm polyps removed from my proximal sigmoid colon
The rest of my colon was normal
I have pain on my left under my rib - sometimes after I have ate or drank
i am confused if the polyp in my splenic flexure has caused bleeding how is the blood mixed in my poo? It’s unlikely the ones in my sigmoid have caused this isn’t it?
any advice would be amazing thank you
