Hi,
The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to your recent polyp removal. However, it is also important to consider other potential causes such as a
gastrointestinal infection or
inflammatory bowel disease. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. They may recommend further testing such as a
colonoscopy or stool tests to rule out other conditions.
In the meantime, there are some remedies you can try to alleviate your symptoms. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding trigger foods such as spicy or fatty foods may help with reflux symptoms. Over-the-counter antacids may also provide temporary relief. For stomach pain, applying heat or taking a warm bath may provide relief. Keeping well hydrated and eating a high-fiber diet may help with symptoms of burning during bowel movements.
It is important to note that passing
blood in stool is not normal and should always be evaluated by a doctor. It may indicate a more serious condition such as inflammatory bowel disease or
colorectal cancer, and prompt medical attention is necessary.
