Hi guys.
This is my first post on here and hoping that I could get some opinions on the below as it’s making my anxiety worse by the day.
About 2 months ago I started to see bright red streaks of blood when passing stool. I remember at the time I was consuming quite a lot of food daily and my diet wasn’t so great due to the fact that I was moving house. Anyway fast forward to now... I seem to be getting those red streaks on and off with my stools being light brown in colour and normal shape no diarrhoea or cramping etc.
What I do experience is glass like feeling when passing stools which can then last and become itchy for several hours after I’ve been to the toilet.
Went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and was diagnosed with hemorroids ... upped my intake of fibre etc but The bright red streaks would only return from time to time. I went again for a second appointment with a different doctor who couldn’t find anything and referred me to the hospital for further diagnosis. Now I’ve had a referral letter from the hospital but no call as of yet presuming that they must think my symptoms aren’t that serious ...
I’m really scared that it’s somerhing far worse than it actually is. My anus would be itchy and burning after passing stool and also the glass like pain when passing stool isn’t helping.
Can anybody please shed some light on this ?? I can’t speed up the process as I’ve been referred to
The hospital already and I need to wait to be contacted by them.
Thank you everyone
