unusual bleeding and itchiness advice needed

Hello. i need some advice. i am terrified of drs and hospitals so thought someone maybe able to give advice before i go and face my fears. i am 30 and a woman. 

i have had an itchy bottom for months and it bleeds sometimes when i wipe it. it isnt uncomfortable but worried. i have heard of anal cancer. i have researched how you get it and one way is intercourse. i havent had sex for over 2 years due to seperation of husband.

  • Hello Lozza91

    I'm sorry to hear that you have some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but there could be many simple causes for the symptoms that you've described. Please do make an appointment to speak to your GP who will be best placed to arrange an appointment and hopefully give you some reassurance. 

    In the meantime, we recommend that people don't search the internet looking for answers to their symptoms as it will leave you feeling much more anxious about things. 

    I hope that you're able to speak with your GP soon. 

    Best wishes,
