I have had occasional blood & tissue in my stool for 6 months now accompanied with a lot of lower abdomen pain (not bladder). The doctors cannot seem to find where it is coming from. I do not have hemmoroids, tears, fissures or anything like that. The blood is definitely coming from above the anus & it is bright red & fresh & full of bloody stringy tissue. In January I had a colonoscopy. The dr found 2 small polyps & 1 large polyp the size of a thumb which were all removed & benign. The drs thought that was what was causing the bleeding & thought that was the end of it since nothing else was seen as wrong. Well, here I am again. On Tuesday I had severe stomach cramps, vomiting, & bloody diahrea again. I went to the er where they did blood work (normal) & a cat scan (normal). They threw their arms up in the air, told me they don't know why I am bleeding & sent me home. I went to my primary dr yesterday & he has me scheduled to see a surgon on tues for exploratory surgery consult, which scares the bloody crap out of me (pun intended). I don't understand why they can't find what is bleeding. I don't want to go in for exploratory surgery & wake up with my intestines removed & a colostomy. Can anyone help me? I know that you shouldn't diagnose yourself but my drs aren't doing it for me. I believe that I have Ulcerative colitis but that is something that they should have found during the colonoscopy, right? Or did I just get a bad gi dr who found the polyps & called it good? Any advice at all would really help me right now. Thanks.
