Worried

Hi, I recently realised I had blood in my stool and on the tissue and I had constipation, I called the doctors and they prescribed a cream for piles, it's been 3 weeks now and the blood hasn't stopped but has started to lessen, should I be worried it's something serious or should I wait and see ?

  • Hi Helloo123,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. If you feel it's starting to lessen, it may be worth waiting a week or two to see if it continues to improve (depending on what the doctor originally said to you and whether they mentioned any timescales). If you continue to be worried or things don't improve, you can always give your GP another call.

    All the best,
