just turned 34, and for the last 2 months or so I had been getting flat stools and pencil thin with mushy stools with nor formation which is very unusual for me as mine a very usually large and round. I made a GP appointment in September and she ordered FOB test, she did a digital exam woth her finger and said it seemed normal, the FOB came back negative and dismissed me off. I went back again and she just out me on a low fodmap diet. I then went to see a private Gastro and he wants me to do a colonoscopy (it hasn't been scheduled as to when it will be). He believes I have an evacuation problem and suggested I take glycerine suppositries and laxatives. The suppository hasn't helped and at the end of a bowel movement I feel like I need to strain and something is coming out but stuck.
This will sound gross but I put my finger up to see if I can get it out but there was nothing there. Then I strained whilst having my finger there and I could feel some bulge coming right into my anus hole. I tried to see what is is with a mirror. It's bright red/pink and can be seen when my anus hole opens to defecate. It kind of covers the whole area and when I stop straining it goes back up.
Is this a tumour? Why couldn't the GP feel it?
Has any one got any experience or advice.
Thanks.
