Hi My mother has been unable to go to the loo for over a year and it s passing water very often either but when she does there is also a lot of blood in her urine. , her stomach is extremely swollen and the last 2 months is also having pains in the lower part of het chest. She s been back and forth the doctors they referred her to a urologist but the test came back fine about 9mths ago, about 3 months ago they told het she had diverticular disease and prescribed a course of laxatives but this hasn t made any difference. She s reluctant to go back to the doctors as they don t let her explain everything and only want to discuss one thing per session and she feels they are related and that the doctor doesnt belive her. I m concerned she is still suffering, more recently she s become very tired and has no energy which is unlike her. she won t go back to the doctors and worried about what further damage is being done.
