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 fissureAnal fissure etc, then ask for a colonoscopy which is a more comprehensive test.
Thanks for your replay. I think she just wasn't sure what it could be, and defiantly wanted me to talk to my GI about it. Working on getting an appointment with a GI as soon as I can, He should be back in the office tomorrow or Friday. But who knows what the soonest appointment will be. I might have to up my insurance so I have more options for doctors. Why is it that GI’s never have any immediate appointments? It’s so frustrating.
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.
