The other night I woke up in severe agony cramping etc ran to the toilet doubled in pain trying to poo had been constipated for a few days had been on a really bad diet stressed working all hours , finally I went and then i got loose stool after that I started bleeding , went to the doctor and she said sounds like a pile I had taken pics and showed her them , she gave me some fibre sachets , then a day later all blood gone , had to see my gp different to the other one , about my thyroid blood tests asked him about it he checked and said he couldn’t see anything so it must of healed but definitely no blood in my rectum, as I suffer from health anxiety he said he would fSt forward me for a colonoscopy to put my mind at rest , now I’m scared out of my wits in case it’s serious , totally lost my appetite anybody else had this please help
Hi I can sympathise with you as am suffering like you. The key is diet lots of fibre and loads of water April x
I hate it my health anxiety has kicked in like crazy , this has only happened to me once it was like being in labour 🙁 but like I said my first had been so bad and working non stop and I had taken immodium a few days as well , i don’t really know if I want a colonoscopy just for peace of mind my gp send it’s sure I’m fine and it’s a pile but just to put my mind at ease , well it’s made me worse 🙁
Yes I've suffered with anxietype all my life and it's horrible. I do think diet is so important I know if I eat junk it does upset my system.Soaking in a warm bath helps to.😡
I agree I used to be happy go lucky but that’s changed dramatically , whst have your systems and problems been with piles Hun
Have had these little horrors since having children many years ago. Sometimes all OK but tend to eat a bit all over the place .Just lately they have been a real pain in the butt! !So try to eat wearability and fru it for breakfast lunch sandwich with wholemeal bread and yoghurt don't drink coffee at all odd cup of tea and lots ofor water.Weatabix not Wearability ! Also have tried fibrogel to keep a bit regular.I like you get very anxious it's hard to keep calm sometimes x
They sure are a pain , never having this problem before and seeing blood scared the hell outta me , with health anxiety as well I’m convincing myself it is something else even though the doc said I’m fine 🙁
I know it is scary although I've had mine a long time never had them bleed like now. Have been told that if blood is bright red it's a pile. Mine have been like this a couple of months of and on. Docs examined me and said it was a thrombosed pile . Once been to toilet it's fine.
Do try and eat better and try and drink as much water as you can as it makes going to toilet easier. You are not alone in know how you feel so keep in touch if you want to x
Thankyou for your support , do you mean thAt you have never had a bleed or just lately hun ? Mine was bright red and dropped into the toilet sorry but graphic here 🙁
Have only had them bleed in last month or so and yes that's what happens to me bright red in the loo.🌞
Did you have cramps for a few days after snd feel like you still needed to poop 😊
Yes I did never seems like all toilet gone as if something still up there 😠
How's things with you any improvement April 🌞
I’ve just been a bundle of nerves tbh , stressed about this appointment at the colorectal doctors , I got a letter for a appointment but it was the wrong hospital so I called my gp snd I asked if he thought it was necessary and he said well we need to follow the path he said he thinks I’m fine but we need to find out where the bleed come from , so I’m thinking well is it a hemoroid or something serious 🙁
Hi Wendy , Sorry to hear you are having problems with doctors. You will feel much better when you get conformation that it a pile , have you had any more bleeding. Do try and eat a bit though I know its easier said than done as when my anxiety kicks in the last thing you feel do doing is trying to get food down. Even if its just little and oftenyou have to keep your body nourished.Will keep in touch April x
Touch wood atm no I havnt had any more bleeds , been trying to eat healthy but still feel like I need to go all the time , I’m
Not sure if it’s to much fibre to soon x
Long as you keep stools soft it won't put a strain on your bowel x🌝
Hi Wendy just wondering how you are regards April .
Hi April, Thankyou for checking in on me 😊 I went to the hospital yesterday and they did a anoscopy could see right up to my intestines couldn’t see anything out a hemorroid and skin tag , he said all was fine there , they asked to do a flexi sig but I said if the bleed occurred again I would , have you had a anoscopy ?
