A member asked:
Could bright rectal bleeding be a symptom of chronic appendicites in a 21yo?gone after surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Recovery from any surgery is variable with ups and downs. Resolution of bright red rectal bleeding is likely a coincidence as well as a benefit. If bleeding recurs, get an evaluation with your regular doc. Be well.
