A member asked:

Bowel movement and blood came out, wiped and it was like having a period (i had a hysterectomy so no) mucus recently in stool, bloating, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematoma: Hi! it is possible that you had a hematoma (a collection of blood and clot) after surgery that just opened and drained after the bowel movement. If you have nothing further and no symptoms (fever especially) there is no cause for concern, but if you are having other symptoms or fever, pain, etc. Call your doctor. Dr brown.
