What Causes Rectal Bleeding After Sitting For A Prolonged Period?
FOR YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT RECTAL BLEEDING, NORMALLY AFTER PROLONGED SITTING ON A HARD CHAIR. USUALLY IT S NOT IN THE STOOL BUT FROM THE TOILET WIPE. IT USUALLY TAKES AWHILE FOR IT TO SUBSIDE AFTER CLOTTING WITH A PAPER TOWEL. I VE BEEN TO PROCTOLOGISTS IN THE PAST AND I M TOLD IF BLOOD ISN T IN THE STOOL MOST TIMES, IT S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I M NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT CONCLUSION, SHOULD I BE?

Hi,
As you describe it looks like hemorrhoids.
You should visit a proctologist for a physical examination when this happens.
Maybe you visited him in remission time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
