Bleeding 4 weeks post surgery.

I’ve had a small amount of bleeding this morning, none up until this point. Just need some reassurance 

  • I meant to say after sigmoid colon resection surgery 

  • Hi Grids and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having and appreciate they can be a worry.

    I am not sure where you are bleeding from. Is it from your wound site or from your rectum.

    I'm afraid as I am not part of your hospital team I cannot tell if anything is the matter. Symptoms can have straightforward medical explanations such as an infection.

    If you have any concerns following your surgery you should discuss these with your specialist nurse or doctor.

    I hope you can get this sorted out soon.  Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Tina
