Hi
I have had chronic constipation for 3 weeks now. It is accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating and nausea. My doctor suggested IBS- But i was under the impression the symptoms come and go (constipation) but I have had no regular bowel movement for 3 weeks without the use of laxatives. I have completely lost my appetite and have lost about 4lb within the 3 weeks. I am not happy with my diagnosis
I have had HA for 3 years and 2years ago I had an xray on my abdomen so If I had bowel cancer would it of been evident here that long ago? I am also experiencing excessive thirst, frequent urination, lots of nausea and weight loss. I havent noticed any obvious blood yet in my stools. I did notice that the constipation was severely worse at the time of my period which suggests something hormonal. As I had my blood tested in january this year the doc doesnt want to test again but that was nearly a year ago-can i keep pestering for a hormonal test. Or should i push for a colonoscopy. I am 26 and mother of 2 lovely children. Thanks for reading
