hi ya i have had piles for over a year but the last 5 nearly 6 weeks i have had loose stools. i had hospital appoint today and he said i have internal piles but he would like to give me a flexi sigmoidoscopy because of the loose stools.
he has told me not to worry as he dont expect to find anything but just wants to do it so he can write me off with the all clear, He explainded the procedure and although a bit scary i thought ok i'll do it he gave me some forms and information on the procedure and when i got home i had a read up and it has frightened the life out of me it says that there are risks in the procedure that can cause death!! now im rethinking is it worth it but then what if i do have a serious problem and in the end will die anyway!! i'm so confused and scared i am only 27 (nearly 28!!) i feel i'm too young to be worrying so much about my health and constant fear of death and leaving my 2 children without their mum!! help opinions wanted!
