Cancer or something else?

Hi!

I am a 31yo mother of 3, I have a few other health conditions (PCOS, fibromyalgia & benign joint hypermobility syndrome) so I'm always in pain/exhausted on a daily basis. But since beginning of November I've had mucous/blood streaked mucous from my bottom when I feel like I need to empty my bowels, didn't think much of it though IBS/piles but for the last 2/3 weeks the bleeding has become more where it's turning the water red, my stools are still soft but a lot thinner & sometimes very mushy. I also more frequently have a sudden urge to empty my bowels which means I need to get to the toilet straight away, sometimes it's only blood passed. Its no longer very mucousy but now there's blood & blood clots around 6+ times a day, I've also began bleeding from my vagina after emptying my bowels. I can't get in to the GP until next week& I'm hoping someone could put my mind at ease & say they've had symptoms similar & it's been nothing sinister? It's been around 6/7 weeks of bleeding now which has slowly gotten worse. No visible piles (sorry!) but a feeling of general fullness & nausea. 
Also late on my smear which I feel ridiculously stupid aboutI'm honestly petrified, Ive not spoken to anyone except a nurse at my GP surgery who said "I doubt it's cancer or anything you're too young"

  • Hello Franklin2410

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with these health problems for the past few weeks. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about what may be causing the bleeding and I'm glad to hear that you do have a GP appointment arranged. 

    There could be a number of reasons for your symptoms and hopefully the GP will be able to give you some answers or at least get the ball rolling on a diagnosis when you see them this week. 

    I do hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
