Blood found in Rectal Exam. Whats it mean?
by GoldFishy222, Oct 07, 2008 04:49PM
I’ve been dealing with server nausea and diarrhea for about 5 weeks now and have undergone a slue of blood test and a urine and stool test, all have come up fine. I went back to visit my regular Doctor today who did a Rectal Exam and found traces of blood in it. I was just wondering if anyone knows what this might mean??? She said not to worry about it just yet and to make sure I talk to the GI about it when I go in to see him again. Though he’s out of the office till Friday (which is why I went to my reg. doc today) with no covering doctor and they wont let me see anyone else because my health insurance is so bad. When I went for my first visit it took forever to get an appointment. Guess we’ll see, but I hope he can see me soon.

Blood from the rectum should alsways be checked out. I suggest that unless your doctor can positively assure you that the cause is minor such as haemorrhoids, anal fissure etc, then ask for a colonoscopy which is a more comprehensive test.

Do you know what causes the colonoscopy might uncover???
If you type in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo etc you will see sites that list diseases that can be connected to rectal bleeding. There are others too.
When you see your G.I. specialist I suggest you ask for the complaints that a colonoscopy will uncover and what additional tests can also be tried.
