My my husband is frightened he has bleach bleeding in his bowel movement which he describes as being read our blood red and he has bowel movements at night when he should be sleeping I feel that he drinks too much water because he drinks that all during the night when he s awakened and drinks beer in the evenings. He is afraid that he has something terribly wrong it is time for a colonoscopy which she can call on Monday and get but can you give him or am I trying to say can you give him any answer that may relieve some of his stress if not that s okay. I told him to use some of my proctosol hemorrhoid cream it s a prescription and he did so I m anxious to see if that helps but since you re online can you answer any questions are or describe what s going on thank you
Bleeding per rectum needs detailed evaluation. There are several causes for bleeding per rectum including hemorrhoids, anal fissure (usually associated with pain), infection, inflammatory bowel disease, colonic polyps, and colorectal malignancies. Rectal examination, proctoscopy, abdominal examination, abdominal x-ray, and colonoscopy may be needed to come to definite diagnosis. Please be advised to follow-up with your primary care provider for further evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
