A member asked:
Is it normal to have bleeding after a few month after a colon surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually: Depending on exactly how the bowel connection was constructed some mild bleeding can be normal for a month or two but rately later than that. If you are continuing to bleed more than 6-8 weeks after colon surgery it should be checked out.

No: Melena or hematochezia are not normal. Difference is one is black blood and other is red blood. Depends if blood is when you wipe, before or after bm or during, lots of factors but you should go and see your gastroenterologist.
