Bloody rectal discharge..

https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_experiences/ask_the_expert

Just passing on the ask an expert link in the off chance that it might be of some help to you. 

However if you are getting a discharge from your rectal area which contains blood you could ask for a referral to the colorectal team . They should be able to give you a full investigation to see any area that might be causing concern . It’s easier to get referred from one surgeon to another so if it did not come under that particular area they would speak to their colleagues.

I don’t think you are being silly at all . Our mantra here is to know for certain what is causing bleeding . If it’s something benign then nothing lost .

Hope you get the help you need soon .

Our helpline staff would also be happy to help you on 0808 808 0000

Thank you so much for the speedy reply.

I was hoping someone would says...it's nothing, and I could stick my head in the sand again️

I know your right, time to bite the bullet, just had so many examinations I feel I have PTSD at the thought of them.

Big breath 

Thank you so much 

Totally reasonable . It’s overwhelming. 
However you also might like to post on the stoma group as I think the discharge aspect is reported a bit but they would still want to check out any form of blood but keep in mind with the colon only one in ten forms of rectal bleeding is actually cancer .

Take care ,

Just thinking you might want to chat about this on this group too . I know some people talk about a discharge after a colostomy. You might get some more information on this forum .
