rectal bleeding again with abdominal pain 4 months after 4 small polyps removed, any idea?

Hi,

4 month ago I underwent a colonoscopy and more than three polyps throughout the colon (right and left) about 3mm in size and all of them were serrated but I have not heard anything from the hospital yet.

Anyway, the rectal bleeding was there for a month before the procedure every time I go to the toilet and has stopped straight away after the colonoscopy for about 4 months but today the bleeding returns with vague abdominal pain like burning in the right and upper side of the abdomen.

I am 39 years old and I know that if there are more than three polyps detected throughout the colon so it is a matter of time before things become worse, but it will be a surprise for me if the polyps grow back or new polyps formed in such short time (4 months).

So I am here to find out if someone faces the same problem as me and also to share my little story.

Thanks

  • Hi notsureyet84,

    I'm not sure if you have spoken to your doctor about this as of yet, but if not then do give them a call as they will be best placed to advise, and investigate further as needed.

    It sounds like you may also still be waiting to hear more from the hospital following the initial procedure. I hope that you hear from them soon - again, do chase as needed as it has been quite a while.

    My reply here will give your post a little boost so a few more people should see it, and so hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
