Hubby has had moroon coloured rectal bleeding since wednesday when he passes a stool
Since friday he has 4 bouts of bloody maroon diarrhoea
Hes never had this problem before and we didn't know what the bleeding is
I'm thinking maybe we should go to a and e ?
I think so too but need to persuade hubby
It feels a bit like we're cheating the system by going to a and e rather than the normal dr route but I just think he should be looked at sooner rather than later ?
Hiya
why don’t you call 111 for some advice, give full details on what is happening, they will advice you. They will get a doctor in touch with you or tell you to go to A&E.
or phone the nurses on Macmillan on 0808 808 0000 they are here 8 to 8 just for expert advice on you can do an online chat on here as well
always our minds go to the worst place, but you do need to take action to find out what is wrong nobody want to talk about our waste product and it’s plumbing. It’s better to know what you are facing rather then ending up as an blue light emergency at A&E.
your husband body telling him there is something wrong, it needs a repair what ever that repair is.
hope it goes well
I wanted to go to a and e but hubby didn’t so we compromised and rang 111 to let them make the final decision , they advised him to see a dr within the next 24 hours which we’re doing so will find out more tomorrow x
