Should I Go To The ER For Bleeding Lightly Like A Period After Having Diarrhea?

default
Posted on Fri, 17 Jan 2014
Question: I have had diarrhea for a few days and today started bleeding lightly like a period but I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure I have hemorroids but when I put a pad on the bleeding almost covered the pad. Should I go to the er? Not sure if I irritated it from all the wiping when I had the diarrhea

Brief Answer: Please refer to the following answer. Detailed Answer: Hi, I read your query and understood your concern. You have to go to the ER because rectal hemorrhage is an emergency that should be evaluated in the emergency room. If i was your doctor i would suggest: - Blood analysis - Abdominal ultrasound - Rectal examination - Vaginal examination If everything is ok then you have nothing to worry about and this is probably due to the diarrhea ( all the wiping when you had the diarrhea). Hope i answered to your query. Dr. Benard Feel free to ask me other questions you might have!
