It is normal to be worried but try if you can not to anticipate what it might be as there are many different possible causes for the presence of blood in your stool. It's good you have been referred to see a specialist though so that they can investigate everything closely and properly and I hope that you get some answers soon.
If you have any questions or simply want to talk things through with someone, don't hesitate too to give our nurses a call on their free helpline 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you will also hear from other members of our community who have been in a similar place before and that they will pop by and share their experience with you.
I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing concerning and that you get some clarity very soon.
