I'm 15 and female and I could not be more worried.For the past couple of days I have noticed fresh red blood and the nhs said I should see a GP but I probably won't be able to or deal with how embarressing this is. I past it off as just a one off but now after reading about it, I am terrified. Could it be a bad balance of white bread and cheese causing this? Or is it something internal?
Thank you so much I am absolutely petrified
Maybe it is just hemoroids?
Hi Jane you do need to go to see GP it's prober.y nothing much but it will put your mind at rest once you've been
As Dorian has said it could be hemorides which are so easily treated
dont spend time worrying see if a friend can go with you T least to sit in the waiting room
good luck
Thank you so much, I am so worried.
Thank you, how well treatable are hemoroids? (some health websites are very forward with it all and scare me a little bit)
Also, do you know if it could be anything else? Like maybe just a bad eating habbit?
Sounds like roids to me also. Sometimes pressure or straining can cause this problem. It is not that hard to treat. Sometimes over the counter meds will take care of it. Bright red blood is usually from hemroids and dark blood is usually higher up. Don't be scared they are usually an annoyance rather than a medical emergency. Try some over the counter meds and see if that doesn't help.
Hi Jane if you eat a lot of beetroot or drink a red drink like vimto then when when you go it can look red but not bright red , if you can't bring your self to see the GP then talk to the pharmacy ,maybe a femal one would make you more comfortable just ask if you can talk away from other people and be honest with her, as they pretty good at knowing what to do ,but be aware she may say you need to see your Dr,
do go and take a friend with you ,
take care you will proberly find its nothing much at all and you will be able to get on happily with your life,
