What Causes Rectal Bleeding?
Hi and thank you,, I recently passed some blood from my rectum and went to the emergency room. They did a scan and checked me out and found a 16mm nodule in my right lower lobe and found thickening of the rectum and ascending colon suggesting possible Proctitis and colitis. I cant get a an appointment until Monday and my imagination is driving me nuts.....

Hello,
Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy. We have to rule out possibilities like colon cancer as it can present with a similar symptom.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
