Sorry to have to ask this but I need some advice. I had a colonoscopy 2 1/2 years ago and they found a polyp – the doctors removed it and scheduled another colonoscopy in 5 years (2010). Now, the problem is about a month ago I had started seeing fresh blood on my toilet paper when I had a bm. I would also see fresh blood in the stool. This happened for about 2 weeks – but the last 3 weeks I haven’t seen anything. Should I be concerned??
I spoke to my doctor today and she said that she was going to follow-up on my last colonoscopy report but she felt like she would leave it alone for now. Should I press the issue and ask for another colonscopy?? Would something major pop up in the 2 1/2 years since my last test???
Thanks for any advice you can give. By the way, there has been no pain or cramping and my bm’s are completely regular.
I don’t have external hemroids I know.
No new meds.
I’ve never needed stool softeners.
Bright red blood is a sign of bleeding in the lower bowel/rectum/anal areas. Dark blood is a sign of bleeding in the upper GI (Stomach/Small intestine). You may have an internal hemorhoid, or you may have another polyp. You won’t know until the doctor does another colonoscopy. I hope everything works out. Good luck to you! & Best wishes!
