So I saw the doctor last week, had an examination and she said not really to worry, but surely something would not be right to cause that?
Im 37 and have no family history of bowel disorders, still doesnt stop me from worrying though. About 2 months ago I did have occasions of blood of the surface, not on the loo roll though, it was bright. That has now stopped and this has kind of taken its place... Im wondering whether to ask the doctor for a colonoscopy? Not sure what to do, as I felt the doctor didnt take me that seriously.
Cheers, sorry for the gross topic
