Hi all,
I am a new member to the board, although I have been reading and searching the board for a few weeks now. History of GERD, LPR, PCOS, Endometriosis. Family history: Maternal GF-colorectal cancer with colostomy, Father- lung cancer
I have had rectal bleeding for years now that come and go. Over the past few months I noticed a change. I have been experiencing increased bleeding that is almost daily, that appears to be in the stool and on side of the stool (I have seen small clots and blood had been both red and maroon), abdominal pain and lower left back pain, nausea, bloating and distention with pressure, excessive gas and increasing fatigue, no weight loss. I checked several times and I have not ran a fever.
I did have a CBC done about 2 months ago and it showed an elevated RDW(15.9) and low MCV(75.1) and low MCH(24.2)
My PCP finally referred me to a gastro dr for follow-up and my appt is Sept 6th.
I did have a few "strange poops" It looked like the blood was in the poo....but It was all on one side...all the way down the poo, like a stripe. Has anyone ever had anything similar to that?
Thanks,
