Question 1

profuse rectal bleeding (drips during bowel movent) pain lasts through the night keeps me awake. scheduled for a scope in a week. should i go sooner?

Accepted Answer

Yes!!!: I would call your doc tonight and be seen asap. Depending on how long you have been bleeding you maybe a pint or 2 low. Walk-in on your doc tomorrow morning.

Question 2

had an external hemorrhoid burst this morning, bleeding has stopped.  afraid that tomorrow's bowel movement will cause it to bleed again. what to do to minimize potential bleeding? have to go daily :)

Accepted Answer

External hemorrhoids: Please take stool softner to decrease constipation, which will minimize the rectal bleeding.  Also, keep the are clean and avoid any moisture formation.  If your symptoms still persist, specially pain or bleeding,  it's time to see a colo-rectal surgeon for hemorroidectomy.  Good luck !

Question 3

i had rubber band litigation for an internal hemorrhoid. the bleeding stopped but today a week later i had a little blood with a bowel movement. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Banding: If the blood was bright red and not mixed in the stool it's possible that there's another hemorrhoid or that the banded site broke open or fell off. Some bleeding can occur 7-10 days after banding of an internal hemorrhoid. Keep stools soft and hydrated. If bleeding persists or worsens, see the physician who performed your ligation for evaluation.

Question 4

menstrual cycle ended then 4 days later experiencing cramps, spontaneous bleeding, vaginal discomfort. within those for days, no appetite and no bowel movement.

Accepted Answer

Dysmenorrhea: or painful cycles with  or without bleeding can be related to multiple GYN disorders, specifically, hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, or vaginal inflammation. I suggest a thorough GYN exam and pelvic ultrasound.

Question 5

is it normal to have bleeding bowels when constipated?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Bulky or hardened stools often trigger a crack/fissure in the outlet that leaves a trail of bright red blood on the surface of stool.

Question 6

i just had a cyst removed and noticed bleeding with my bowels is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Blood in stools is abnormal and must be explained especially if you didn't have bowel or rectal surgery. If you did any bleeding should be light and not prolonged. Other causes of rectal bleeding are hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, growths, or inflammatory bowel disease. Your surgeon who knows your case is best to advise you.

Question 7

bleeding from my bottom and had pain opening bowels but not constipated but my doctor won't do a rectal exam so i don't know what is wrong, ?

Accepted Answer

You DEFINITELY: Need to find a different doctor!  i recommend a gastroenterologist  or a proctologist.  Good luck@!

Question 8

my son us bleeding from his rectum when he has a bowel movement. his bowels are kinda hard n big could it be causing that?? he said he wasn't hurt.

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Rectal bleeding associated with large hard stools is usually due to hemorrhoids or sometimes anal fissures. Have your physician do a rectal exam to get more information. In the mean time start using a stool softener.

Question 9

i am having internal bleeding in vaginal and in my bowels , i had a hysterectomy over 20 years ago.  what could cause this.?

Accepted Answer

I will not: Speculate here as if you are right u need to see a doctor asap. Start with a gynecologist!

Question 10

bright red rectal bleeding 2.5 years ago that lasted on and off 3 weeks with painful bowels. have had no blood since.24 y/o. do i need to see a dr?

Accepted Answer

Why the question now: Not sure why you chose to wait  2 1/2 years  to ask this but the answer is likely that you suffered from hemorrhoids or an anal fissure- both of which are not life-threatening.  Certainly if  the symptoms recur  then seek medical attention
