Concerned, nervous…
In 2017 I had a
sigmoidoscopy
/endoscopy done. The doctor did not diagnose me with anything. Only told me I had “redness” in my lower colon, internal hemorrhoids, and redness in my duodenum. Also told me I most likely had IBS.

Colchicine toxicity & Behcets gastro symptoms
I had a flexi
sigmoidoscopy
and not the full colonoscopy and no issues were identified other than a few piles. I’ve currently been having looser and looser stools to the point where I am getting a breakthrough on clothing etc.

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
It got so bad ( the abdominal pain ) that I eventually sought help, it took a few years of repeated doctor visits and hospital visits, a laparoscopy along with internal scans and a
sigmoidoscopy
to be told IBS, reduce stress and read a book about it and change my eating habits.

Hydroxycarbamide/ Intestinal Problems
It is being investigated yet again with
sigmoidoscopy
but the doctors’ strike in UK may cause delay. I have read in the HU rare side effects can cause intestinal problems and would welcome any feed back .

Please someone reassure me that this is another IBS flare up
The doctor said IBS again due to negative results and also based on my previous history of negative tests along with normal
sigmoidoscopy
. I've been having sporadic bad IBS flares which appear different everytime for around 5 years.

Sigmoidoscopy Checks - Blood
My doctor assured me the first time not to worry but the second time suggested a
sigmoidoscopy
and referred me over. Naturally the mind went wild. There was quite a wait but after about 8 weeks I was seen today. The procedure was painless, if a little uncomfortable and over quickly.

Bowel Bleeding - being passed between gynae and gastro
cyst, long bleeds and bowel bleeding again and decided mirena coil seemed to have stopped working/being effective and so they changed this while I waited for the consultant appointments and added cerazette pill and nortriptyline on top which reduced both the period and bowel bleeding 2 years ago -

sigmoidoscopy
as i am most scared to have either one done.

Colonoscopy after pregnancy
Im just a bit fed up worrying that because its been so long, its something more sinister as they only done the
sigmoidoscopy
and not the colonoscopy. Sorry, just having a rant and not coping very well 😭

Bowel Issues, Do I Ask for Another Referral?
The bowel consultant said he believed the issues are endo related only as I'm not losing weight and I don't bleed from my rear end except when on my period, but he referred me for a
sigmoidoscopy
to rule out anything else (I assumed he meant cancer).

Advice needed, help from my friends here
Furthermore I am having a
sigmoidoscopy
later in the month, and I need to be well for both procedures. Therefore I am taking extra care not to catch covid, flu or a cold or anything. I have had my 6th Covid jab which covers omicron, and my flu jab.

Are enemas with prednisolone available in Scotland
He is currently experiencing a flare up and had a
sigmoidoscopy
today. The doctor has decided to treat this flare up with enemas containing prednisolone. Years ago my husband was treated with COLIFOAM which I understand is no longer used due the cost but there are alternative preparations.
