A few months ago i had blood in my stools, stomach pains, diarrhea and constipation. They did some checks at the surgery but didn’t know what it was so sent off a stool sample. A week later i rang up and they told me that i had a gut infection and if the symptoms didn’t clear, then go back to the GP.

The infection went and so did everything else. Apart from the blood, which did go for a short period of time but recently it has come back. The colour is a red/pink colour and sometimes its not even there.
So i have been to the doctors again but they couldn’t find the cause so have told me to book an appointment for an endoscopy.

I have had a couple of hemorrhoids during these months and told the doctor about.
This is what i thought might be causing the blood but he didn’t mention aything.

Today i went to the toilet and there was no red/pink colour in the stool what so ever, and sometimes theres no blood at all, but it was very dark today, most of the time it is normal in colour but today it seemed darker than normal. Now i’m worrying myself even more and can’t stop thinking of the worst. I ago away in a month for 3 weeks so i need to get seen asap, however i kept ringing the treatment unit all day but there was no answer so i will ring again tomorow – which is making me even more worried.

I can’t stop panicing now and im scared of telling my mum as i really don’t want her to worry because i know for a fact that she will. Which will make me feel even more worse. She would be so understanding and helpful but i really don’t want her to panic which is making it really hard for me to tell her.

Has anybody had similar symptoms and found out what the cause was? As always im fearing the worst I am 20 years old, male. Somebody please help me i really don’t know what to do, and the thought of waiting to actually get seen in really scaring me in what results they might find

please no jokes this isnt funny, thanks for your time
p.s – this is embarrassing but i dont care anymore. I have a habbit of tensing as if i was trying to push out stools. Don’t know why i do it i just do. Could this be causing strain on my bowels?

My granda is eighty years old, he has anemia and they have found a lump in his bowel.
The doctors are going to remove it but will be doing a biopsy to see if it is cancer.
I was just wondering what the chances are that it is cancer?
Any information will be appreciated, xx

I am a 29 year old suffering from erectile dysfunction and hemorrhoids who is otherwise healthy. I am lean (with a body mass index in the normal range); I am a vegan; I am very physically active (I play soccer, I run, I ride my bicycle); I have low colesterol; HB below 120/80; normal testosterone levels.
I have never been overweight; I drink alcohol only socially; I smoked socially in the past for a short while; and I never did any drugs.
I have been to many urologists and many other doctors and it only now wandering if there might be some relationship between ED and hemorrhoids. Is so, please explain why that is so! What is the link between the two? Blood vessels, nerves…etc. How could hemorrhoids cause ED?

My grandfather is 80 years old and has bowel cancer. He has had radiotherapy treatment and has recently got news that the tumor has shrunk, but not gone. What does this mean? The doctors have said there is nothing else they can do but if anything else comes up, that he must go back to them and they’ll re-examine the situation. Will they be able to do anything else if it gets worse? What are the chances of it getting worse? Is there a chance the tumor will continue to shrink and will disappear? Can you give me some more information on this? Thanks a lot. Any help is appreciated.
