My mum is 66 years old and since summer
she has been suffering from abdominal
pain, and constipation. Towards October
she started noticing some blood on the
tissue after she wipes after have a bowel
movement. then she started complaining of
feeling the need to move her bowels but
after lots of straining, she only passes a
little stool. she also started getting a
mild fever once a week which will only
last for a few hours and as is always
controlled with paracetamol. she had a ct
scan done and an ultrasound and the bowels
seemed ok but her uterus seemed very
bulky. She knew she had a bulky uterus and
was being monitered by her gynae for it.
the docs suspected that her uterus was
pressing on her bowels and causing an
inflamation. she has had a barium enema
and sigmoidoscopy but they were not
perfomed properly cause the liquid from
the barium enema kept on seeping out and
during the sigmoidoscopy she started
bleeding and a stricture was found. During
the sigmoidoscopy 5 biopsies were take

Only a colonoscopy with a biopsy can
provide a secure diagnosis. You can wait
for the results from the
patho-hystological examination of the
tissue samples taken with the biopsies and
then learn more about the condition once
you have a diagnosis.
