Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
Question: I have a high wbc, low hemoglobin and no infectious material in my stool. my dr figures I have a bleed but im not bleeding from anywhere. told me to stop the antibiotics and I am absolutely terrified I have cancer. I had a normal cat scan. Going to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy soon. Yesterday I had a whisp of blood on the toilet paper after urinating. I used to get it once a year when my periods were stopping but have not had it in a couple of years at all. I just had a yeast infection and was scratching and not sure if it came from that or from the vagina. Has not occurred since. I have back issues and today they are acting up and hurting in right lower back going around to front a little. Have health anxiety and now think I have cervical cancer. I do not have any discharge or anything like that. I go to the gyno in a week but my anxiety has been so bad over the anemia that I have lost weight and I am just very concerned. thank you

Brief Answer:
No chance of cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) The episode of bleeding could be due to constipation and nothing else which is normal.

2) There is absolutely no chance of any cancer. Calm yourself. Cancer symptoms are different.

3) Vaginal bleeding could be due to yeast infection ( supported by the fact that scratching was there). This again is likely to be due to yeast infection.

4) I suggest you stay calm and think something positive. You dont have cancer.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards

so the weight loss is probably due to extreme anxiety then? if I was not losing weight < I did gain 3 pounds over night > I would not be as anxious and scared as I am. I will try to calm down but still concerned why I have anemia in the first place. Thank you!!!!
