God what you've written I relate to so much. Please keep going back to your doctors until your health issues have been dealt with. I'm 23 and have had Bowel cancer twice. My own GP told me when I first started getting symptoms to not google them cus it would say Bowel cancer and I'm too young. THREE YEARS LATER I finally end up being diagnosed but by then things had progressed. Please keep going back, I wish I could go back in time and kick up more of a fuss x

Hi there

Im sorry to hear of what your going tbrough.  If you dont mind me asking, does your bowel issues link to your period?

I suffer from endometriosis and your symptoms could link with this condition.  Endo is when cells similar to the womb lining grow outside the womb.  It doesnt show on scans and takes on average 7 years for diagnosis for this reason.  Endo can affect ofgans, the bowel includ ed.  Ive actually just posted asking for advice which you can read.

endometriosis UK is the charity for th e condition and gives ways of seeking help, the best wag is asking your GP to refer you to gynaecology specialist or if you are under consultant for bowel problems ask them to refer you.

good lu ck and i hope your sy mptoms are addressed soon. Please feel free to contact me wit h any questions.

I've been sent to A&E and they thought I had piles but I didn't, and then when they didn't find anything with the half colonoscopy, she just diagnosed me with constipation... but I've started bleeding a lot more when only going to toilet. The whole toilet and water would be filled with the blood, but only bright red. But it's not painful and I'm only bleeding when going to toilet. Yhe bleeding has definitely become a lot more since last year. 

Yh, before lockdown in March, I was in progression on having a diagnosis for ending since I have such heavy periods and have camps on and off my periods. My bloating is horrible, always bloated, and the blood cloths I get during my period too are horrible. 
 

But I have read that bloating could relate to my bleeding from my bowel and also the cramps I have been experiencing. But I don't know, because when we hit lockdown the endo people just told me to go on the injection in my *** for birth control. I never did. 

Really ! 
 

Thank you. I mean, I'm sorry I had to go through this but it's nice to know that I'm not super overthinking things. I just wanna double check before going back because I hate needles and having that colonoscopy has given my PTSD. And of course, first things first, im really young but during lockdown that girl who was 18 die from it and then read again about a man who wanted to the see doctors they didn't and he tried again when they did see him it was too late he only had 3 months left. 

but I will call the doctors tomorrow and try and stand up for myself. I have photos anyway since they ask for that. 
 

But thank you for help and advice. X I will keep updated with how things are going. XoX 

Have you had any boood tests done? Are you anemic or anything like that. What about a stool sample have you done one? At your age it's more likely to be chrons/colitis/ibd endometriosis or something like that then cancer? I'd say coupled with the pain as well but your go needs to be more proactive about sending you for tests x

I don't think ive had an updated blood test, ive had a stool sample done, and I don't think im anemic, but ive always been super tired anyway, so might bring that up to the doc. 
 

But okay, thank you. I will ! X
