Hi guys, I really need help. I cannot find answer, so if even one person responds to this I would be so grateful!
So here is the situation; I am a 20 year old female. I have been diagnosed with IBS-C and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Both of these have caused me lots of problems over the years, but these conditions shouldn't be causing bleeding (according to doctor google!). But I have been getting blood in my poop for a while now. I have gotten it for nearly 2 or 3 years. I always worried but I usually got over it quickly. But last night was the straw that broke the camel's back... last night I was having a bowel movement. It was quite painful and I basically felt my skin tearing, so an anal fissure. I was expecting blood of course, because I was in so much pain, however when I wiped there was quite a lot of bright red blood but also a blood clot! It wasn't huge, maybe the size of a large pea. I made the mistake of going to GOOGLE and I read it often means cancer. I had a sigmoidoscopy last month as well as 3 biopsies; all clear. I have had stool samples done and I have been to doctors who have told me it's nothing. I only got a sigmoidoscopy (only looks at the end of my colon) but I thought that was all I needed considering I have only ever had bright red blood.
I have an appointment with my specialist soon. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could say to her? Is there anything else I should ask for? Some please help me; I don't know what to do. :sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:
