Bowel Issue and Worried

Posted , 3 users are following.

Wondered if anyone could give me some help/advice. About 2 months ago whilst walking, I passed what I thought was wind, got home and checked and it was blood. Been having stomach pains since, went to Docs but he couldn’t find anything (piles etc) he did bloods and Fecal Occult Test, both came back normal. Since then have been getting regular bleeding and discharge from back passage. Doctor ref me for flexi sigmoscopy will also came back clear no piles /polopys or anything sinister. Really worried and concerned as it seems to be getting more regular. I have been referred to outpatient clinic for further checks but stress is driving me mad. I’m 40yrs old and fairly active
