Hello,
So, since January 2018, I have been experiencing severe stomach cramps, abdominal and rectal pain, bloating, as well as diarrhoea, blood and blood clots when I use the toilet. July of this year, I had a sigmoidoscopy to check for irregularities, and the result was just a few small benign polyps. Thus, the consultant whose care I was under discharged me with advice that I go to A&E if I should experience rectal bleeding again. Furthermore, he stated that, if I have haemorrhoids, then binding them wouldn't be possible due to COVID-19.
Those are the steps I have taken to this point, but during this current climate, I'm at a lost. I plan to make another doctors appointment, but I'm not sure what procedures can be conducted these days because of COVID-19.
In addition, the abdominal pain and bleeding only occur after I have had something to eat or drink. I have experimented with my diet to try and eliminate certain food types, but have discovered that it solely depends on the day and not on the food or drink I consume.
I've been feeling fatigued lately and sleeping a lot more than is usual or needed. I haven't lost any weight, but I'm not one for keeping track of my weight regardless so I can't be certain.
I don't know what to do next. Can anyone here offer some advice?
Respectfully,
