Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you had recent polyp removal, possibility of residual blood coming out is more likely.
So at present, nothing should be done
Wait for 2-3 days more.
If you still have bloody diarrhoea then immediately consult gastroenterologist to rule out post operative wound bleeding.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
