How Are Rectal Polyps Treated ?
Question: im 6ft and 16 stone. i have noticed jelly like red blood on toilet paper. Somtimes just light red blood. Started about 6 months ago. not every day. i have acid revlux, for which im taking one30mg tablet of lansoprazole for about 7 years.
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Occasional Mucus mixed blood(jelly like red blood) on toilet paper for the last 6 months in a young man of 44 years without any other sign & symptoms suggest of rectal polyp or some benign colon pathology like Haemorrhoids. 30 mg lansoprazole per day for 7 years has nothing to do with it.
For confirmation & proper evaluation, please see a gastroenterologist and colonoscopy along with stool examination is desirable & essential & will alleviate any tension of malignancy.
Hope this answers your query. In case of any doubts, I am available for the follow ups.
Wish you speedy recovery.
