So I need advice. I have IBS so I've had some blood in my stool before. But the past few days I've had just...well blood. There's been stool, but still blood. I've never had an issue with it in my underwear before but now I am. It's not constant, but today I woke up feeling ill. My mom keeps telling me it's nothing to worry about, but the more it happens the more I worry, about me and the baby!
Thoughts? I know this isn't really a pregnancy issue but I need advice...
I had this issue whether it was a solid stool or soft (sorry I know tmi) I was bleeding pretty bad. Went to ob she did exam and then sent me to gi. Gi put me on meds to try for two weeks and if this worked we would continue testing after pregnancy. I have other symptoms that were worrisome but honestly the meds have worked. So definitely call your dr. Have you ever had hemorrhoids? I was diagnosised with ibs ten years ago and have had them a lot. If you have been constipated take in more fiber or a stool softener. If it's that then most likely dr will have you take a suppository to heal it. Talk to your dr you will feel better knowing what's going on. If your ob is unsure she will send you to a gi like mine did. Good luck t&p's
I would guess this is probably because of the IBS... have you been constipated? How do oyu know you don't have hemorrhoids, because I think that could be causing that?
Either way, it's worth getting things looked at. I have IBS and I know it's a diagnosis of ruling out everything else. If it turns out it's not hemorrhoids, maybe they should go back and make sure you don't have Crohns or colitis or something like that...
Re: A bit scared (IBS talk and can be TMI.)
I'd prob call my Dr.
