Hello everyone,
I am here to look for advice for my father. He had radiation for prostate cancer January-March of 2020. In April of this year, he began experiencing rectal bleeding and frequent bowel movements, urgency etc. This has been very disruptive to his life. He recently had a colonoscopy where they cauterized some of the areas to (hopefully) repair the bleeding, but then unfortunately, afterwards developed an infection - not even sure that's what it was since it occurred within hours of the colonoscopy- but they treated it as such with 2 antibiotics which then further aggravated his bowels. He has had so many issues as of late and I'm here to seek advice on how to manage this frequency issue, as that seems to be the most troublesome for him. We are hoping the bleeding has stopped, but with all of the aggravating factors from the colonoscopy complications, it's hard to know what way is up at this point. He has been off the antibiotics for about a week, so hoping things settle down a bit.
Any advice or encouragement would be helpful. Thank you!
