BRBPR: BRBPR= Bright red blood per rectum. Top causes are hemorrhoids and anal fissures. You need a full exam and rectal exam to make diagnosis. Lab work may be needed to Check for anemIa. If you still have symptoms stool cultures and a colonoscopy may be warranted . In the meantime stay well hydrated 64-80 oz water/dy. And gluten free with high fiber gutbliss.com

Yes: The safest bet is to go to the ER tonight to get lab work and an exam. May need to be admitted overnight due to uncertainty of rebleeding. May need colonoscopy. Most common causes are benign. Hope this helps!

Rectal bleeding: This may be an episode of fresh bleeding from hemorrhoids. If the bleeding has stopped and doesn't recur or if your husband doesn't feel weak, you could wait until you report this to your physician and after his/her assessment a referral for colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy can be made. These procedures are not usually done in an urgent care setting. Go to the hospital er as needed..
