I recently had hemorroids banded, in fact 2 weeks ago
I suffered hardly any discomfort and no bleeding
But 2 days ago I had a discharge of blood into the toilet bowl
Then nothing until today when I suffered another discharge of blood
Is this normal or could there be complications
What should I do?
Hi,
Bleeding should not be happening at this late stage, as the bands and the banded hemorrhoids should have fallen off after the first week.
If it is bright red blood, it’s possibly a new hemorrhoid that’s bleeding, if it is smelly or pussy an infection may have set in, if it’s dark red blood it suggests a more serious bowel problem.
Yes, you best go and see the doctor and clear up what is going on.
All the best
Donald.
