Question 4

Two years after colostomy, have had several times when bright red blood has come from rectum, but goes away almost immediately. ?

Accepted Answer

That is a question you should ask your gastroenterologist or surgeon.    I see you are on a blood thinner.   That makes the bright red blood more  worrisome.    You don't say why you have the colostomy.   That would be helpful to know, as well.  I wish you the very best.

Question 5

I've had bright red blood coming from my rectum for a week and have been able to feel my blood pressure dropping at times. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Possibly a medical emergency. Fresh red blood coming from the rectum is always a cause for concern. Hemorrhoids would be a common cause, but other things, such as ulcers, blood vessel malformations, or cancerous lesions should be ruled out--especially given your feeling of "blood pressure drop." This should be evaluated immediately with vital signs, physical exam, possible labs, and other testing.
