Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice because I’m really at my wits end with regards to my stomach issues. Yesterday I had a bowel movement and noticed that there was some bright red blood on the stool. Now, I’ve had a history of stomach and bowel issues since 2016, when I had my first colonoscopy and since then I’ve had two more, as well as a sigmoidoscopy. My second colonoscopy was because of recurring stomach pain and all they found was an internal hemorrhoid. I had a sigmoidoscopy early 2019 because I was having bright red blood with bowel movements and they had found a small polyp. I had my last colonoscopy around six months ago as a follow up to examine my entire colon to make sure there was no other polyps. Also I’m 20 so this whole thing started happening when I was 16.
So I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of thorough testing, probably more than most people my age have ever gotten. I’m just not sure what to do because yesterday I had bright red blood, and I had it again this morning, which has left me concerned and confused as I literally just had a colonoscopy in December and nothing was found. I really don’t know what to do at this point. It’s hard enough to see a doctor because of covid, and even if I did, I don’t know how useful it would be because I’ve already had so many tests done. Any advice on what I should do about this?
