Visited doctors twice after stools had become smaller but no blood. Gave me an internal and said couldnt feel any lumps. Was finding when had a poop that i still felt there was more to do and pressure build up has become worse. Doctor has prescribed Fibregel to help and said probably as i am in my 60's ive not got the push i used to have and is sending me for Sigmoidoscopy which am dreading!!! Have had piles before but its not hurting when i go to toilet but cant cope with this pressure and since pushing a little too much yesterday as i felt something was still there i have been in pain since and taking paracetamol. I was paranoid that i may have the beginnings of a rectal prolapse but since reading some of this forums comments I was wondering if i may have internal haemorrhoids and thats perhaps why i am having problems going to toilet and now pain especially uncomfortable sitting. I'm thinking of paying to see a consultant as i cant wait weeks for this Sigmoidoscopy. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I’m sorry to hear you are having this issue. I can’t say much about your condition but from what I heard sigmoidoscopy are fairly less invasive than other operations so hopefully that eases your mind. I know it can be scary but you’ll get through this. Just remember this too shall pass. Best wishes!
