Had Colonoscopy Today, Found Spots Posted: 03-30-05 19:53pm
I am a 55 year old male. Around the
first if dec 2004, I took a round of
antibiotic for possible bladder infection.
Ever since this time, i've been having a
change in my bowels. No blood, but my
constinence has changed. I used to be
more on the side of constipation, now my
bowels move all the time and are very
soft, sometimes loose like diarhea. I
have gas all the time, and anything I eat
that is the least bit 'no bland' I pay a
price for. My bowels movements appear
like little 'torn' or 'shredded' pieces
and are light reddish brown in color.
Today, I had a colonoscopy and the doctor
found little spots on my colon that appear
about the size of a grain of rice and are
'off white' in color. She mentioned
possible ulcers, but then i'm no bleeding.
She took some spots for bioptsy and told
me to come see her in a week. She didn't
really know what they were, or at least
she wasn't saying right after the
procedure. She did indicate that I
should start taking acidolphyllis in the
meantime.
I'm scared to death. Anybody ever heard
of spots like before?
White Spots On Bowel Movement! Posted: 07-09-05 23:38pm
When I heard this person talk @
"off-white" spots on colon, I had to ask-
does anybody know anything @ white round
spots on the bowel itself? I noticed them
on my bowel today. Let me explain a
little further: i've been having bowel
trouble for as long as I can remember but
i'm too scared to go to the Dr., even
though the one time I did (in march 2005)
he thought he found a "lump" during an
external exam in my lower left abdominal
area, where alot of recent pain had been
coming from...They did an ultrasound and
said there was nothing except a tilted
uterus (slightly)-supposedly "no problem"
there, right? O.K., so- whatever! Back
to my bowel problems- I only have a "b.M."
maybe once, twice a week (if i'm very
lucky!!) and sometimes only once every 2-3
weeks. When I do, they are exremely
painful, I can't move or speak unless it's
to scream in agony, tears stream down my
face, I pound the walls next to me- it's
like labor pain, I swear!! They are
sometimes very large, of course, but many
times just little "balls". Also I have
xtreme acid indigestion, all the time, now
(it used to be only occasional) and
increasing abdominal pain on a daily
basis. I've tried laxatives &
high-fiber diets, even zantac &
carafate doesn't seemed to help although I
haven't taken it much, yet, as it's my
husband's medication & he needs it,
too. I have a "phobia" @ Dr.'s because I
used to be a drug-addict & was treated
very unfairly in the past-now they
pre-judge it seems all the time (ahcccs
Dr.'s, of course) even though I don't use
any drugs & haven't for yrs., now.
Today I had a very small b.M.; only 2
little pieces, but they both had a
significant round white spot on each one!!
I've never even heard of this, but now
i'm very frightened! Anyone know what
this could be? Oh, also i've had cervical
cancer b-4 but they caught it right away
& as far as I know it's gone.

Cervical Cancer Posted: 01-21-06 07:10am
Cervical cancer is caused by the virus
hpv. There are 100s of strains of this
virus but some cause warts and some cause
cancer. If you have had anal or oral sex
you are more suseptible to cancers in
these areas. I would go get that checked
out.
