Question 1

my wife has rectal bleeding that comes and goes. she went to a nurse practitioner and found no hemmorhoids. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Go see GI: If there is no evidence of hemorrhoids...It is time to go see GI and let them take a look. She may need to be scoped to look for sources of the bleeding. More than likely it is benign, but it is worth getting it checked to know for sure.

Question 2

is there any relationship between hemorrhoids bleeding and menstruation? seem to have rectal bleeding from my hemmorhoids at the start of my period.

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: There could be a connection however if you have not had the rectal bleeding evaluated, i would contact your physician and do so.

Question 3

is too much anal bleeding hemmorhoids?

Accepted Answer

No: Not all anal bleedings are due to hemorrhoids. There are so many other reasons like fissure, diverticulosis, ischemic colitis, avmalformation, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, perforated peptic ulcer, drug effect and cancer etc. It is serious matter and should be addressed on emergency basis. Thanks.

Question 4

when colon cancer reach a level that causes anemia blood in stool became visible or stool became dark or rectal bleeding has started am i right?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Slow bleeding from colon cancer can lead to anemia, without visible blood or black tarry stools. More often than not, anemia is the presenting symptom, especially for right sided colon cancers.

Question 5

my husband has rectal bleeding,stomach pain,sleeping a lot and an enlarged prostrate.he has had a full range of blood tests.very worried wife.thanks?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenterologist: I don't think that blood tests alone would shed light on the cause of his symptoms. Rectal bleeding must be investigated to look for hemorrhoids, anal fissure, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulosis of the colon or the presence of a tumor. I recommend that he be evaluated by a gastroenterologist and colonoscopy may be advised.

Question 6

rectal bleeding bright red blood, comes and goes dr checked for hemorrhoids  found nothing what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Need to be checked : Sometimes bleeding from internal hemorrhoids can be difficult to determine if the bleeding has stopped or if the exam was done without an anoscope. Although internal hemorroids are the most common cause for painless anal/rectal bleeding there are other causes that need to be ruled out . Colonoscopy should be considered as a next step if that has not been done already.

Question 7

can advanced lymphoma cause rectal bleeding; then not be found on a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

: Treatment for lymphoma may result in low platelet count that could result in rectal bleeding without a visible lesion on the rectum.

Question 8

my kid (her account) is under 16 and has rectal bleeding for less than a year but a while. it's only when she goes to the bathroom. condition/cause?

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: I would first consider softening the stools. Constipation and large, hard bowel movements can often be the cause of bleeding. There could also be other causes like hemmhoroids or fissures, among others. Appropriate use of fiber supplements to soften the stools can be helpful. If this doesn't work, i recommend consulting with your doctor.

Question 9

what could cause rectal bleeding but still have a normal colonoscopy and egd?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding might: Be inermittent, or you could be bleeding from small intestine.  Or it could be coming from outside the rectum, like external hemorroids.  Sometimes, bleeding could be intermittent, and not seen during the study.

Question 10

could rectal bleeding be caused by an ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

No: Ovarian cysts will not lead to rectal bleeding. However severe endometriosis may lead to both ovarian 'cysts' and rectal problems. If you don't have endometriosis, ovarian cysts would not be related to rectal problems.
