Hello, I’m so worried and I was hoping to talk to someone. apologies in advance if TMI.
About 2 months ago I became constipated. It happened quite suddenly and hasn’t gone since.
I’ve gone from having a BM about 5-7 times a week (at least), with normal poos, to going 3-5 times a week and being constipated when I do go. The size, consistency etc has changed. I also noticed a tiny bit of fresh red blood on the toilet paper a few times.
At first I thought the constipation was strange for me but wasn’t bothered, and then I put the blood down to the fact that I had been straining. It’s such a small amount of blood, and only a few times.
then the last time I saw blood, it was a tiny bit more (as much as a 5p) and I suddenly clicked to the fact that I’ve been constipated for so long.
im now so worried.
I’ve booked a Drs appointment but its not for a few weeks and as im 28, I dont want to be over looked/not taken seriously.
Is it possible to have this constipation and blood without cancer?
I have long Covid so I experience a lot of daily symptoms like nausea and fatigue so it’s hard to know what other symptoms I have, if any. But nausea has been worse this year. No weight loss and fatigue is mild and not daily.
Thanks
