A member asked:

Got my gallbladder removed this past thursday. i went to use the restroom and noticed i'm having a bloody discharge every time i wiped. is this normal?

Dr. Raymond Gagliardi answered

Gallbladder surgery: Unlikely the bloody stool is directly related to the gallbladder removal; however, you may be having some straining/constipation related to narcotic pain medicine, and have hemorrhoidal problems. I would discuss this with your surgeon during your post operative followup appointment.
