Should I be worried?
by jillybean, Aug 31, 2002 12:00AM
I am a 28 year old female. About a week ago, I started having rectal pain. Not really pain but a little pressure. I went to the doctor and looked up my rectum with a light and found that my colon was bleeding just a little. I assume that it was light red blood, not dark red. Anyway, he told me that it was colitis. He gave me some meds to take for 2 weeks and then come back to see him. I went ahead and made an appt to have a colonoscopy done on 9-3.
My question is..has anyone that has had colitis ever had these symptoms, or should I be worried that I have cancer or something. I am terrified that I do. I can't even sleep at night. So, could someone please help me?
Thanks
