Hi what was your out come

Hi i have Pan Colitis....Ulcerative colitis of the entire bowel x

Thanks for replying everyone! 

See when I went to my GP she just prescribed hemorrhoid cream then I rang again (all telephone appointments) when the issue hadn't resolved itself, then when I rang again and she asked me to come down to the doctors and would see me in person so I expected maybe a finger examination but got nothing. She then referred me for blood tests and said she was referring me to a GI. I havent received the blood test results, and this was back in November! I'm hoping no news is good news?! But I've never had my stool tested. Yeah mine mucus is more some days and less the others but is always blood. It is always bright red, and always more when I have to force a bowel movement. Going out out my mind with worry but seeing other people have had the same really puts my mind at ease!

I've also been passing sometimes blood clots with stools. They won't be on stools they will just be in the water after I've finished. Has anybody experienced this before? 

Don't worry we are here to support you

once my colonoscopy was done the blood stopped

 right red is a good sign they say because it could be a fissure 

Thank you so much for the advice and for replying my gp called today and they said at my age they won't give me a colonscopy and said my symptoms are due to consipation. I'm so upset I haven't stopped crying I know doctors are rarely wrong but I have such a strong feeling this is more than consipation I feel like they think because i'm young its not anything serious but I just know myself and how i feel that this is more than constipating especially since my stool is rarely hard. I just don't know what to do anymore I feel like the longer I go without colonscopy to be 100% sure the more anxious I will get and the worse my conditon will be.  I really don't know what to do but the waiting is agonising, even as i'm writing this i can't stop crying because I feel so helpless and stressed. 

Please please don't cry we are all here to support you

if you feel so strongly about it get a second opinion and explain how you feel they do have to listen 

on the positive they maybe right and it could be constipation that caused a fissure or tear and that's why there is blood

please don't worry it will be ok x 

I'm sorry I thought I had replied to you I'm not sure if I sent the reply to the wrong person

if I have I can only say sorry

im going through a bit of a tough time 

anyway please don't cry we are here for you 

insist on a second opinion and insist that it would make you feel better 

constipation can cause bleeding and fissures too 

make sure you see your doctors for you to stop feeling anxious 

on a positive note sometimes doctors know by your symptoms if it's anything to worry about

we are here to help and listen

Hi I hope everyone doesnt mind me joining. I have been reading the threat and wanted to get some support from people experiencing what I am.

In 27 years old and been getting alot of mucus in my stool for a while now. I built up the courage to call the gp in November and I sent a stool sample and had blood tests. They both came back ok. Anyway the problem continued and in January/February I called back because I started to see blood in the mucus.  Sometimes I would just go to the toilet and it would be just mucus no stool. Other times it would be stool with very visible mucus. Then the bloody mucus aswell. So I have sent another sample off which has came back ok and had my bloods done which are ok but the notes said I need to be referred to the hospital which has worried me. I was abit shocked when they rang but I think they said it isnt IBS like the doctor said it could be. They said the doctor might call me but if not I should here from the hospital or somthing like that I just blanked out in panic when they rang. I think she mentioned have a procedure at the hospital because it's not normal these symptoms. I'm just really scared and anxious right now x

I am so grateful for your reply they have really made me feel better in this situation! thank you so much it means a lot.

I am going to try the consptipation tablets and see how they go but if my abdominal pains continue I'm really going to press for a colonscopy.

I hope everything works out for you and i am also here to support you! you seem like such a kind person and I'm really praying your symptoms goes away too 

Hi please don't worry. I had a colonoscopy to check and they found a small polyps which they want to remove. I was told that polyps hang down and rub on the colon causing blood and the mucus was ibs related but I had the colonoscopy and have arranged to remove it but I'm more worried about COVID in the hospital so I might delay. I'm relieved I have had the tests because your mind goes everywhere and you imagine all sorts of things but slowly you can eliminate things. We are always here to chat to you.
