Hi all,
I’ve been relatively stable for over a year now but the past couple weeks I’ve had a change in bowel habits (from constant diarrhoea to sometimes constipation sometimes diarrhoea but constant urgency), extreme fatigue to the point I’ve had to take time off work and more recently blood in my poop. Last week I had blood on wiping and some blood coating my poo but it wasn’t much. This evening a lot of blood came out on wiping and there was lots of blood in and coating the poo. It wasn’t making the toilet water red or continuously bleeding but more than normal and enough for me to be concerned. I’m aware this could be a fissure, but with my fatigue and bowel movements changing as well as my usual pain feeling a little worse I know I need to let my IBD team know.
My question is do you think this can wait until after bank holiday weekend or do I need to go to urgent care/A&E sooner. I don’t feel particularly unwell but I’ve also never had this much blood so it’s scaring me a little.
Thanks!
