Hi
I contacted my doctor in regards to my periods, I'm 51 always had heavy periods, last month af ter about a week of being finished from my period I bled for 13 days not always heavy and sometimes enough to dhow on a pad or other times just when I wiped, I'm on a single iron tablet as I was diagnosed years back with being anemic I have blood tests to monitor.The doctor asked for bloods and my iron levels were 118 they are usually around 132 , he put me on 2 iron tablets a day then asked about my bowel movements etc , I'm not experiencing any issues, asked if I do a wfit test and it's come back positive at 66 , the doctor tried calling me last week I was on holiday no signal, I've made contact with my surgery this week but no phone call as promised.
I suffer with back problems due to s slipped disc about 10 years + and have had issues with lower back pain gor several months but nothing I thought was an issue for the doctors.
Ive currently got pain in lower back and down my legs which ive had before i think scatia? But im thinking all sorts and extremely worried that i have bowel cancer
Tmy mum had polyps around my age so I'm guessing it might be that but I really don't know what to think.
Can you advise please
