Misdiagnosed with ibs ?

Hi so Iv had bad symptoms of lower tummy pain then needing go for number 2 and noticed their stuff in it also sometimes blood on the tissue 

sometimes pain so bad I can’t even stand but now like 1/2 years later I feel extremely tired like had no sleep but I also have very low server iron amiena iv been told by someone I know that might been diagnosed wrongly because one the bowl cancers are linked with low iron iv been taking iron tables off doctors but apparently wen did recent bloods hasn’t gone up by much ? 

 

Also so I am only young in 20s but I knew bowl cancers have gone through my family somewhere 

  • Hello Teenmama, 

    If you are still concerned about your symptoms, I think it might be worth going back to your doctor or getting a second opinion. You can find out more about this on this page. Do mention to your doctor that you have been suffering from extreme tiredness recently and that you have severe anemia and that the iron tablets are not helping much. It is also worth mentioning the bleeding and your family history - just to give your doctor the complete picture. Your doctor will be in the best position to tell you more and do arrange further tests if they think it's necessary. 

    I hope you get to see a doctor soon and that you find the reassurance you need. 

    Best wishes,
