Hello,
I a 20 year old female and have been suffering with the same symptoms for nearly 4 years now. I have undergone two colonoscopys and had biopsies taken each time. Both results have shown nothing with the biopsies and have been told I have a badly inflammed sigmoid colon. After my first colonoscopy I was diagnosed with UC and then after my second they seen to be unsure.
My only symptom is bloody mucusy diarrhoea however this hasn't ever stopped in the 4 years since it started only changed in severity. I have seen a few different doctors and I always get prescribed asacol just in different forms however it doesn't have much effect. The doctors don't seem concerned about it however I am very worried about it. As I feel no pain or discomfort it's easy for me to just ignore it but as a result I am anaemic and worried my condition could worsen. Whenever I voice these concerns to my doctors they just give me more asacol. It's very tedious and is constantly on my mind.
If there is anyone that could offer me some advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
