I started having symptoms when I was 12 (I am currently 18). I would have a lot of bleeding diarreha that would turn the toliet bowl red, I had horrible pain every night after dinner, and would have cold sweats. I quite foolishly did not tell anyone about my symptoms that continued pretty much every day, with a few months without symptoms. When I was 15 I told my boyfriend something was going on and he made me go to the doctor, but my symptoms had stopped by this point and she said only to come back if symptoms reoccurred. They did about 6 months later and again I did not say anything (hoping it would just go away, I know this is not good). However not as severe besides one week that I couldn't eat anything without horrible pain and passing just blood and mucous.
My symptoms have been occurring on and off recently, and I am getting a colonoscopy next week after my boyfriend convinced me to go back to the doctor. My symptoms recently have been urgency, mild cramping normally on the left side but sometimes everywhere under my belly botton, going 2-4 times a day followed by 2-4 days of constipation, feeling like I need to go more despite having BM, feeling like I need to go but inability to do so, gasiness, bloating, passing large pieces of bloody mucous, stool with stripes of blood, stool with stripes of mucous, stool with ridges, stool completely covered with blood (not as frequently), bloody diarreha (not often but every once in awhile). I am aware that I haven't been very smart about the situation in waiting so long, I guess I was just scared. Like I said I have a colonoscopy next week, but do you think it's UC?
