Hello everyone. I have been having problems which started as passing a little blood á year ago.
Since then the blood has increased, I pass alot of mucus (both blood and mucus are mixed up in stool and on their own), increasing urgency to go (often just to pass blood/mucus, if I don't get to a toilet in time i leak), and i am getting diarrhoea more often. It often feels like I need to go but there's nothing there. I feel an uncomfortable ache /pressure in my lower back /back passage and have been getting cramps in my lower stomach recently. I go between feeling ravenous to the point of headache and a guy dizziness, or slightly nauseous.
This started when I was pregnant so was just put down to pregnancy! Symptoms subsided after birth but I had a flexible sigmoidoscopy just to be safe which came back clear. Á couple of months ago symptoms started again and have increased rapidly. Bloods came back fine but stool showed inflammation, so I am waiting for a hospital referral.
I am starting to wonder about the mucus.... It is a dark yellow colour mixed with blood, and it smells like death could it be pus? Does this sound like ibd?
Thankyou, sorry for tmi!
