    Referred for a sigmoidoscopy

    Hi I’ve been bleeding quite regularly for months and now have been referred for a sigmoidoscopy, I’m honestly petrified. I called my surgery and they don’t know when I will get the appointment considering what’s happening with the Coronavirus.

    Rectal bleeding every other day for several months :(

    I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, I feel so down. I’m honestly so done with seeing blood on stool and when I wipe. This has been ongoing for several months. I’ve been doctors and they referred me for sigmoidoscopy which I don’t think will be happening considering what’s happening due to the Coronavirus. What should I do? I called up my surgery and they said I should expect a call back to make an appointment but they don’t know how long it will take because of what’s happening with the virus.

    Re: Referred for a sigmoidoscopy

    Hey sorry to hear your going through this I know a thing or two about this condition despite not having it myself.
    Few things first if your able to carry on your daily activities and it only happens when you have a bowel movement that a good sign. If it happens to be blood and clots alone and no bowel movement it can be worrying but if it’s new head to a and e. If the bleeding it’s heavy and continuous and your starting to pass out you may need to check your haemoglobin ( a and e again) and if it’s so bad and pouring without being on a toilet and you become unresponsive ensure someone is with you at all times because you will need urgent medical attention.
    Normally rectal bleeds are harmless and there are a million reasons why they occur. In my case my mum has had a very unfortunate time with PR bleeds and nearly died twice so I genuinely don’t panic when I see blood.
    Keep a daily diary and tick off when it bleeds etc that will help with a daily bleed log for colorectal specialist! Good luck!

    I was seeing blood on the stool and a few times on the paper like every few weeks for months, since July 2018

    I had a rigid sigmoidoscopy and they only saw small piles

    I'm still here so I guess it's nothing?

    So why cant you have this mind set on your own thread then Toby as you just posted you were freaking out thinking you saw blood? Here is your answer in your own post.

    This was just before I really started freaking out about what I thought to be old blood (in retrospect, it probably wasn't)

    Thank you for replying back everyone. This is honestly driving me insane :(

    After a couple of days of no blood, today I see what looks like a tiny blood clot on my stool, I scraped it with a tissue and yes it was blood clotty and also looked really dark. I am not doing great, feel so down a depressed. :(
