Hey all,

Since the start of this year I’ve had issues with small tiny noticeable amounts of blood in my stool. My GP said it was likely fissure/hemmerhoids. I wasn’t convinced bc I have health anxiety despite being a registered nurse!!

I went privately to see a colorectal surgeon who put a camera up and said he saw active bleeding hemmeroid/s. I did a QFit test on the NHS and was called the same week as handing them in for a colonoscopy appointment scheduled for 4 weeks from now. I still have random bits of bleeding, usually it is when I force something to happen a bit more.

Should I be worried that it’s something else, despite the colorectal surgeon actually seeing blood from hemmys?

Hey all,

I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy next month due to bleeding in stool & on tissue. (I’ve been examined by surgeon and have been told I have hemmeroids internally, but the NHS gave me Qfit tests and they must’ve come back positive if this is being arranged!)

I was asked on the phone if I require sedation or not, I literally have no idea? What do you guys think? I’m not fussed I feel, but if there’s a better option lmk!

Hey all,

Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.

I received my QFit tests in the post today (Saturday, UK). It says take at least 4 days apart. However they arrived a few days later than expected and I’m not here at the end of the week and will be gone from here for a while.

If I do one sample tomorrow, is it too soon to do the other on Wednesday? It does say 4 days apart at least, but I’m just wondering how specific / strict they are?

It also says to hand in ASAP, but obviously if I do it tomorrow it wouldn’t be handed in til Monday morning.

Thanks,

Sorry. It might seem like a silly question but I’m only here until Wednesday night.
