Has anyone on here had rectal bleeding that’s lasted a week or more ?
As some of you may have read hubby had an appointment at the drs yesterday , he’s done a fit test so have to wait for the results of that , I’m just concerned that he’s still bleeding every time he goes to the toilet , obviously in normal situations that’s not normal but if it was piles , an infection , stomach ulcer etc etc is a week or more normal ?
Hi Worried03. My step daughters brother had bleeding and was diagnosed with diverticulitis after a colonoscopy. I think if there are piles inside the anus then they would bleed everytime a stool passed over them and aggravated them. Please remember as well that a little bit of blood goes a long way when mixed with the water in the toilet?
I know it’s hard but the wheels are in motion to get to the bottom of things so stay away from google and we’ll help you through this anyway we can
Take care
