There was no mucus, only bright red blood. Basically there is only blood in the "grooves" of the poop... I have been applying hemorroid cream but 3 days counting and no improvements....
Hello everyone, I have proctitis and have been on budesonide enemas for 2 months or so, but a couple weeks ago my butt started to feel itchy. I disregarded the symptoms but now I bleed when I go to...
I am not sure they took biopsies... The report does not mention that they did. How can I be sure?...
... and I am fine. No inflammation, no lesions, no signs of disease. I guess my initial diagnosis of UC proctitis is confirmed? I'm on rectal Pentasa 1g only, but I felt better when I was on the...
The rectal meds make me go to the toilet 2/3 times a day mostly to expel what is not being absorbed. I feel that they contribute to my bloating as well. I had diarrhea twice in the last 2 weeks but I...
Thank you for your advice. I’ll get in touch with my doctor soon. I’m still failing to understand something. If my UC is confined to the rectum, why do I feel bloated and nauseated if I’m not in the...
Yes I have confirmed extrasystoles in but my GE did not link it to Pentasa. He did refer me to a cardiologist though. Right now just doing rectal Pentasa but feeling it’s not enough. The palpitations...
I was on Pentasa granules (2g) for 5 months and my GE decided to make me go back to Pentasa suppositories because of some heart palpitations I had been having. However I am feeling much worse. I get...
Good to hear your thoughts on this. I personally would not reccommend it. It's just not worth all the possible side effects, plus my acne did come back after 1 year or so....
A few days ago I read some articles stating that Accutane is linked to the development of UC. I have been on isotretinoin myself about 6 years before I was diagnosed. I never had intestinal side...
@iPoop: Yes she is....
It started off with me and my family thinking "Don't worry this is probably hemorrhoids, we'll ask Dr. X if she can fit you in between other consultations and exams just to be sure what's happening"...
@quincy I do 1g suppositories every Mon, Wed, Friday. I never bled since I started the Pentasa 2 years ago although mucus is somewhat always present. I never saw any reports from the 1st...
Thank you both for your advice! I feel like I've been simply diagnosed and prescribed medication to get better. I still don't fully know what to expect of living with this disease, and what is normal...
That's exactly it; right now my symptoms are worse than when I was firstly diagnosed. As soon as I reduced the number of treatment days I started having diarrhea. For 1 and a half years this never...
Yes, no ulceration was seen. Macroscopically normal... This is why she decided to reduce the treatment. Maybe to see how I cope? I think I may need a second opinion on this....
This is how the whole story goes: Two years ago I started to find blood on the tissue paper after wiping. This happened for 1 month until I decided to do something about it. So I went to the doctor...
I only use rectal Pentasa. I'm just unsure about the diagnosis without performing a full colonoscopy... Is it possible to find lesions in the rectum and then other disperse areas along other parts of...
Hello everyone, I've been diagnosed with UP for 2 years now. My doctor says a colonoscopy is not an urgent thing to do, so I suppose she considers that the lesions are confined to the rectum only. I...
