hi all,
just looking to get some extra info/advice from others who may have been in the same situation....
i went to my gp with rectal bleeding and changes in stool (sorry but very much like cow pat). Bleeding did tend to be on toilet paper on wiping. I also get a watery type discharge around anus which can itch like crazy!!
GP brushed me off initially so went to a consultant who recommended I get a faecal calprotectin stool test aswell as a flexible sigmoidoscopy. During my 30 min appt she put a proctoscopy up there (oh my did that hurt!!!)
Sigmoidoscopy came back normal and stool test which looked for inflammation also came back normal. My GP has ‘diagnosed’ me with internal piles and IBS.
should I be concerned that the whole colon was not examined? I really don’t know much about this, only from google searches (not the best idea) so any extra info would be great.
peace & love.
C
