Specializes in General Surgery

Rectal blood is bad: You should see a doctor. There should never be blood from the rectum. Pain, especially severe pain, is a sign of something wrong. Go see the obstetrician who did you C-section.

Hurt my stomach at gym. Saw Dr, sent for sonar, sonar indicated torn stomach muscle and blood clot on right side. I'm not convinced that's all, as pain is right across my whole lower abdomen and pains when I sneeze. Could c-section scar have torn?
