    Hi Shirley

    No need to worry if its bright red - That is either from the piles or the fissure

    It is certainly not cancer unless you have very irregular bowel movements such as lots of diarea and severe stomache aches for more than a month or so and the blood is in the actual stools (Then it may not be cancer anyway)

    Whatever you do NEVER put off going to the toilet if you have piles or a fissure

    Try to eat a better high fibre diet and drink lots of water  and get to go regular with soft stools to relieve your symptons

      Hiya Shirley

      Horrible the waiting isn't it - You are lucky you have a GP you can actually get an appointment with so soon - My last one was 22 Days so I spent £90 on a private one and lodged a complaint! She sounds nice as well Everything sounds cool though so nothing to worry about - As long as piles are inside your bum you will be fine after using the suppositories as long as you dont get constipated or get hard stools then they won't give you much of a problem hopefully

      Nothing life threatening anyway lol biggrin

      The positive all clear blood test results will cheer you up when you get them biggrin

      Hi Shirley

      It really is just a matter of changing your diet really biggrin but I cant preach to you about that - Its your choice (My piles were caused by my early party animal life style but learned my lesson 25 yrs ago - Just changed into a healthy eating party animal lol) - Never bled or was in pain again

      The blood test was taken by your Doctor just as a precaution as if she would have slightly any doubt she would have referred you for tests

      Your symptons are not stomach or bowel cancer - you can actually buy a diy bowel cancer test from the chemist (Boots, Lloyds etc) where you just take a sample of your poo on a stick and post it off if you want further peace of mind

      I get them free every 2 yrs if over 60

      Hi Mia

      You are having all sorts of probs aren't you hun

      When I went to see my consultant I was asking for Halo as it seemed too good to be true what is sprouted (No pain over in a Day etc)

      But he said that in his opinion it would not deal with the prolapse and cause all sorts of problems and that this Halo is more of a marketing thing to sell the expensive equipment (Without actually saying that if you know what I mean?) so I had them cut out!

      Its been an absolute doddle and virtually painless - I was back bouncing about on my bike after 3 Weeks - I'm doing 30 miles Today - It will be 5 Weeks this Thursday since the Op and I am seeing him this Thursday for my post op consultation - So I am waiting to see him for that and I will post it all on here if there are no problems

      So I am not sure if what they have done to you sounds like the problem my guy was saying (Makes the job worse as it leaves something behind)

      If you can afford £200 you can get a private consultation with BMI where I went (Hospitals all over UK) They will give you the best advice (You can do the same for free if you get your GP to refer you then choose a BMi hospital online - Google NHS - e referral service) I would have done that myself but those jokers I have as my GP it would have been winter before I got it done)

      Hope this helps you a bit

      Dave

      Yes it's left behind scar tissue that if its removed will grow back worse I'm going to see my doctor on Friday for a referral back to see some one but to be honest I know I have to live with it but it's ruining my life if I'm ever even slightly constipated I bleed terribly he did try to manually break it down a bit so it's easier for the poo to pass I've paid privately for my treatment apart from halo and colonoscopy and I'm running out of disposable cash now it's so depressing I'm only 28 and there are no options for me left 😩

      Hi Mia You seriously need to get that constipation sorted even if it means taking senna every day if you dont want to eat a high fibre diet for some reason (Thats the only laxative that is supposed to be ok for long term use - But ask your doc first if you intend to do that after a few weeks My Mum takes 4 a Day! She will only eat junk and sweet stuff - I give up with her now lol) You will never get any relief or have any successful procedure unless you eat healthily and can pass soft regular stools thats a definate I'm afraid sad

      If you want any help with your diet just let me know (PM me with what you like to eat now and will see if I can be of any help to get you regular)

      That goes for anybody else who reads this biggrin
