Hi all,
I hope everyone is well :)
I'm not sure if this is the right group.. but worth a shot yes?
First some background info;
I am a 20 year old woman, I have endometriosis which causes great pain. While I am going back to my gyno on October 19th I am also having concerning issues else where. I am finding when I have a BM I have a lot of bright red blood, this is getting more severe when I have a BM. To the point now I will drip red blood, and wipe away continuously a lot of blood after a have a BM. I've told my mum about this and next week when I go to my GP I will be bringing this up. Mum isn't sure if it's haemorroid, something to do with my endo or poylps. My mum has a very strong hystory with Polyps, although she was a lot older when it was discovered she doesn't want me to let it go.
Of late I am finding I feel bloated also and when I have a BM It feels like constipation with my stools NOT being hard at all, in fact they are quite 'normal'
For the last few days I have felt extremely fatigued, and sick every time I eat. I am so confused as to whats going on... endo...or not it feels like endo pain but also alongside other issues?
Any insights??

ZenEm is absolutely right. Tell your GP you need a referral to a GI. You'll need a colonoscopy, but it will tell you what's going on, as soon as you wake up. You don't want to mess around with this. If you don't think that you can wait, you could go to the ER...
Best of luck, and I hope that you feel better.
Hope you're all well!
