Hi, I'm new to this and looking a bit if advice. I've been bleeding from my back passage for over a year and a half. I'm 38 and female. Over the past year I've become extremely windy and it's not pleasant! Also, bowel movements would change, would be constipated for a few weeks and then go to running to the toilet about 4/5 times a day. I had spoke with the doctor since I started bleeding as I thought it was maybe piles and they gave me treatment. This didn't help do I seen the doctor nearly a year ago and they couldn't see anything. They referred me a year after my bleeding started as urgent but waiting lists are do long. They diagnosed ibs too but mentioned ibd. Anyhow, I've also noticed a few wee clots, they would be dark red. My bleeding would be dark red, brownish. I would have pain to my left side at times too, crampy and I'm really tired, sickish and dizzy at times. This is more recent though. I got sent a fit test about a month ago and then last week got a phone call to ask if I would attend the hospital the following day for my initial appointment which I did. My fit test is over 400 and he done and examination and referred me for a colonoscopy, it's happening in two weeks. It all seems to be happening very quickly and I'm now very worried as it seems very rushed. I had thought it could be haemorrhoids but now I'm starting to think otherwise. Has anyone had something similar? I want to be prepared.
