What Do Bleeding And Flatulence During A Bowel Movement Indicate?

I suggest you get a colonoscopy done!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully. Gas will not cause blood and blood will not cause gas either. These are more of coincidental symptoms and not one causing the other.
Given your age and past history, I will recommend a rectal exam and a colonoscopy. A small wound around the anal area or growths in the colon might explain what you are experiencing. These exams will shed more light on this. It is unlikely that they are caused by your prostate.
The best physician to see is a gastroenterologist. I will recommend you talk to your primary care and get this referral for appropriate evaluation and care.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be and do keep me updated with your efforts.


Dietary changes!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this follow up question.
Dietary changes and change in bowel habits could be responsible for this. However, we must eliminate the most worrisome possible causes. I will strongly recommend that you get another colonoscopy at this time.
I hope this guides and helps. Let me know what your ultimate actions are.
