What Causes Passing Blood Clots From Rectum Long After Having A Ileostomy?
Hello, Heavy cramping in abdomen and passage of blood clots per rectum could occur as a complication of ileostomy. Since you are a cancer survivor I suggest you get a colonoscopy to look for any evidence of new growth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
