What Causes Blood In Stool Post An Umbilical Hernia Surgery?
Hello, I am 11 days post op for umbilical hernia surgery. I have been having red blood on my tissue paper after bowel movements for days now. However today the bleeding was so bad, I thought I started my menstrual cycle. It was all in the toilet bowl and on my tissue. I don t know what to do.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is not the menses then it could be bleeding per rectum due to fissure or hemorrhoid these are the common conditions seen beside this it could be inflammatory condition of intestine over all the clinical diagnosis is matter of concern but it may not be due to the surgery of umbilical hernia hope this information helps.
