What Causes Bright Red Rectal Bleeding And Pain?
I have had a pain in my upper back and around my right side for over a year now and doctors say it is muscle Now I have started bleeding bright red from my rectum and a brown discharge from the front end I have no uterus and 1 ovary I am worried that it could be something serious. I also had my appendix removed. Can you think of any reason why I am having this issue?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Bright red colour bleeding in stool could be indicative of bleeding from distal/terminal portion of GIT i.e. from large intestine to anus.
Your right upper back pain need to be examined ti diagnose if it is not muscular pain.
In your case,if you could be having anal fissure or large bowel obstruction, ulcerative colitis,etc.
You may require thoroughly clinical examination with proctoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out any other lower GIT etiologies.
You may require antibiotics (quinolones-ofloxacin with antiprotozoals- metronidazole/ornidazole) with topical steroids and antihistamines to prevent bleeding if it is coming from anus otherwise treatment is mainly depend on the underlying cause.
You should see general surgeon who can examine you thoroughly and order relevant investigation for proper diagnosis.
