Hi yet another problem has come my way and I'm fed up and need some friendly advice.
First it was 10 months of PVC's, then its irregular periods and spotting, and now its regular bowel movements! This is going to sound a bit gross but I suppose nothing's left to the imagination on here lol. Basically in the toilet department I'm normally regular (once a day or so) and rarely suffer with constipation or diahorrea. The last 3-4 days I've been regular as in getting the urge to go to the toilet 4+ times a day. And I've had very bad wind but that has calmed down because I don't think there's anything left!
I don't get that feeling when you have diahorrea but just the urge and it feels my tummy is constantly getting ready for the next trip to the toilet. Its normal consistency and now I've got slight soreness in my lower tummy because its been so active. Is this a bug, IBS or worse? I've never had this before and I have read that it can be connected with pre-menopause (I'm 38 and my nan went through menopause same age) and thyroid. Because I've had irregular bleeding (I'm not having proper periods mostly spotting last 3 months) I'm due to have a pelvic scan in a couple of weeks and blood tests to detect for all kinds of things (including thyroid and menopause) but I'm just wondering if this is common and what can I take to help the symptoms. Part of me is suspecting hormones but the panicking side of me says ovarian cancer because of the link with the irregular periods/spotting and the excess gas. Help! I'm going away for 5 nights on Saturday and need someone to put my mind at rest. Thanks. :wacko:
