Hello!
Ive had bleeding for just over a year, on and off, and had numerous examinations with various GPS. Also recently had an Mri and Sigmoidoscopy. Not heard results if Mri, but Sigmoidoscopy showed miles Diverticulitis, but nothing more.
My current issues began early in May when I began to get pain in my bottom. This went of for 13 weeks, but was just pain, no blood.
Literally two days after the Sigmoidoscopy I began to bleed, and have done after every BM since. There's enough blood to make the water in the bowel go red, but seems to be around 8 or 9 drips. Once I've cleaned up the bleeding seems to just stop. I have no pain following the BM.
Currently I'm using Rectogesic with no effect. I have tried another cream that was made to order, though I can't remember it's name. Think it was something like Dilitrium? Anyway, that stuff seemed to make the whole area far too soft and I ended up with sore buttocks and bruising.
I saw my GP last week who told me I had a fissure at the back of the rectum, and that she'd contact my Specialist to see if they'd see me again. She also told me that there was nothing more a GP could prescribe to cure my issue.
My worry is that the blood is not a fissure. Where can it be coming from only to stop so quickly following a BM? I'm also paranoid that I bleed in public and it shows through my clothes.
Whenever I've had bleeding before its only lasted 3 or 4 days.
Any advice, or tips on ending this nightmare would be greatly appreciated.
