Bright red blood after colonoscopy 10 months ago 28 Male

Hello im looking for some advice I had a colonoscopy around 10 months ago which was clear and they didnt really find anything unfortunatly at the time my bleeding subsided but they did find grade 1 hemeroids. Since then i have had bouts of bright red blood on tissue at least 2 or 3 times since the investigation. Ive had this issue since i was around 20 years old on and off and im still very anxious about it as it comes and goes. Im going to go back to the doctors asap to ask there opinion but should i be concerned considering the colonoscopy was clear 10 months ago should i be pushing for another one. I mean is it possible for something concerning to of grown since then. Im mainly worried because the bleeding has never gone for a substanstial amount of time.

Thanks in advance

  • Hello Ladsboy21,

                              sounds like Hemorrhoids bleeding fresh after a bowel movement. The real concern would be seeing stale blood appearing as dark spots peppered within the stool. Perhaps they have grown since your last inspection, your doctor should advise the next steps.

    Unconnected but l have been bleeding for the past ten years since bowel surgery, its fresh and from rapid successive bowel movements scouring off the bowel lining. If it were a recurrence l would have known about it long before now. Without further indicators l would not stress myself and ruin my second chance with mindless worry.

    Good luck with your appointment,
