  in most places you will first need to consult an intermediary person (like a GP or family doctor) who will tell you to wait and observe for a while anyways. it is not like you go to the hospital and they immediately test you. you need to bleed out of your anus for quite a while before they take you seriously…

    Sounds like 100% your location issue. In UK shit is taken seriously. Try different GP and report them if you can.

    I’m talking from experience too. If they’re not taking bleeding seriously, it’s fucked beyond belief.

      well even if you are taken seriously there is a very high chance you will be hit by waiting times still

        Have not, was seen same day and examined within an hour… 2024 Feb is fairly old, wait times have been being cut.

        Just pointing it out as you’re just spreading misleading information. Yeah, it was bad and situations like that suck, but what are you achieving? Are you seriously trying to do what exactly?

        You aren’t getting this. There’s a huge support community out there. People will get help if they reach out. And they should do so.

    Um … nope. I sent me to a gastroenterologist. We just talked, no physical exam. He immediately scheduled the butt probe. After that he sent me to the hemorrhoid guy who only saw me once, procedure on the first visit.

    I freaked out when I saw blood in the toilet after a shit. Went to see my doc. He looked at my butthole and said “it’s hemorrhoids, I can see them”.
