Hi guys (I'm not sure if I've posted this somewhere else on the site to but my phone went flat when I pressed post a few minutes ago)
Anyway... I had my takedown 4 weeks ago, since then I've had problems with urgency, and a big problem with a feeling of pressure on the anus that just won't go, and the feeling of needing to empty more but nothing comes out, which leads to straining involuntarily, also I'm kind of having to manually pull apart the anis slightly to empty the pouch as it just doesn't feel empty, I've had a little bit of blood on the tissue but nothing much, but my issue is since yesterday that nleeding has increased a lot! It's on the tissue and in the toilet bowl and its bright red, I'm really really worried is this normal, what could it be? I've got a dull pain vey low down on the abdomen, sometimes on the right side and sometimes on the left, I'm just so scared that they've missed something and it could be Chrons now? Or can pouchitis or cuffitis cause the blood and these symptoms and what else could it be?
Any help or advice would be so so helpful
