Hi, I had my stoma operation 2 weeks ago and so far so good but I do still have quite a bit of blood coming from anus, is this normal? My stoma nurse didn’t seem to be concerned as there is a tumour still there which will bleed but I just wanted to ask others to make sure

  • Hello Sasue, 

    I’m just a newbie here so I can’t be sure but I think if you’re concerned you should definitely ask your doctor/consultant. There is always a risk with tumours regarding bleeding so I’d say better safe than sorry. 

    I hope everything is ok, please keep us posted. X 

  • Hi ,

    I would definitely echo what  has said, tumours do bleed as they generally have a high blood supply but if you’ve got considerable bleeding & it’s ongoing I would contact your consultant & just make them aware of the extent of the bleeding, they’ll hopefully be able to put your mind at ease.
