Because of many years of occasional rectal bleLeding, I am having a colonoscopy q 3 years by Gastroenterology. Last one in early 2002 when three polyps, diagnosed as benign adenomatous, were removed. The problem is that I continue bleeding, bright red, mixed with stools. This can happen for 1 to 3 days every
3-4 weeks, with intrim periods of 2-3 months of no bleeding.
The amount is rather small.
I called the Gastroenterologist and he told me not to worry about it at all. Just to wait for the 3-year repeat. But I worry some. I have no family Hx of it, and I take ASA 325 q day. I am 71, without other gastrointestinal symptoms.I had a radical prostatectomy 3 years ago and I am followed regularly by Urology, with PSA undetectable. Last May I had a normal CBC and BMP.
Your advise please.
