What Causes Blood In Stool 2 Years After A Colonoscopy?
Question: I have found a little bit of blood in my stool. I had a colonoscopy almost 2 years ago. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Fissure/ hemorroids..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
If the colonoscopy you ran was normal , then most probably blood you saw was due to fissure or hemorrhoids caused by constipation.
I advise to avoid constipation:
- increase water intake
- eat more fiber rich foods
- keep a good anal hygiene
Hope it was of help!
