Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just started bleeding from my rectum after going to the bathroom yesterday. The blood is fairly light - not thick and heavy. I had a hysterectomy about 7 years ago (ovaries intact) due to continued problems with benign tumors on the uterus lining and severe cramping and heavy bleeding.
Hi..Bleeding from rectum could be due to hemorrhoids or rectal ulcer or sometimes a tumor from colon rarely...Sometimes chronic constipation may also result in bleeding while passing hard stools..Proctoscopy and sigmoidoscopy may show the site and cause of bleeding..Thank you
