Need Medical Advice On Discomfort On Skin And Poor Blood Flow.

Hi, There are a few issues that are starting to concern me... I would say it started about two months ago, my skin got really bad with breakouts and spots. I used to have mild acne during puberty, but my skin had cleared up; I am 28 now, so it does not seem right.... I can also feel lumps around my neck. I went to donate blood not long ago for the first time and it was hardly flowing.. The practitioner who took my blood said that I have quite bad circulation (my hands are always cold as well...) and that I should drink herbal tea. The thing is though, I DO drink lots of herbal tea, also I exercise, so I dont know, why my circulation is so bad... Now I have also noticed that sometimes there is some blood in my stool. I have been thinking if there is any change in my diet or anything since the last couple of months.., but I have been eating the same stuff. The only thing that would be different is the water that I am drinking.. It s Australien tap water rather then European.., as I moved here from overseas a couple of months ago.. That s the only change..... Apart from all mentioned above, I also have some issues with urinating.. When I need to go I do have a sudden very strong urge and almost cant hold it. Even though when I reach the toilet in the last second, I often dont even pee a lot.. And I need to really press to get it all out. I appreciate your advice, thank you!!

H,

If I were your treating physician I would advice you to get a complete blood picture, stool routine examination, stool for occult blood and Thyroid profile. Breakout of acne can be caused due to hormonal imbalance, cold extremities can be due to poor circulation caused commonly by anemia.

In addition the lumps around neck, urinary urgency and incomplete evacuation feeling can be due to thyroid disorder. In my opinion you should see a GP and take all the necessary diagnostic test to rule out thyroid disorder and anemia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
