A member asked:

Bleeding red stools daily 1 month, gone now.. colonscopy cleared, ct scan showed few enlarged nodes around colon. gi said infection. ask 4 biopsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Red blood in stool more frequent from anal problems rather than colon, as such a neg. colonoscopy and as a result no area requiring bx. If digital exam does not define an anal lesion or internal hemmorhoids then whatever the problem has resolved and again no bx required. Check for a repeat bleed and this followed by anoscopy.
