Rectal bleeding, heavy bright red blood in stool and lower back pain?
Back in July I had a few cases of rectal bleeding after a bowel movement. Two were days apart and the other occurred a couple of weeks after the first. I did not experience any pain or anything, just a toilet full of bright red blood with large clots that I only discovered after I started wiping. I have regular constipation so I assumed it was hemorrhoids or something. It was a lot of blood each time, enough to fill the toilet. I went to see a colorectal surgeon in August and she looked up inside but didn’t find anything.
It’s been almost two months since my last experience, but today I discovered another toilet full of blood after an easy bowel movement. I wasn’t constipated or anything and it came out relatively easy with not too much hard pushing, even though I hadn’t had a bowel movement in a while. But there was still enough blood in the toilet that it colored the water red, and it was VERY brightly colored, almost pink, with clots. Afterward, now I am feeling some lower pain in my back. However, there was no pain when I passed the bloody stool. Again, there was a LOT of blood in the toilet.
I am starting to really worry about rectal cancer. Can anyone tell me what it might be? I am going to call that surgeon again and schedule a colonoscopy, but in the meantime I am so worried that I feel like crying. What am I going to do if they can’t get me in right away? I don’t have colon cancer in my family, but I am still really really worried. Can anyone help?

I’d see your GP again, could be bowel cancer or it could just be a fissure or fischure (not sure how to spell it) pronuounced fish-ure
It could be Bleeding Piles, or fissure or Fistula in ano.
Please do not worry. These are curable. Cancer is a far way to go. Do not dream about it.
If you believe in homeopathy, please take Calcarea Flour-12x bio-chemic tablets. 4 tablets per dose thrice daily for 3 weeks. You can even avoid colonoscopy if you heed my advice.
if i had rectal cancer i would do a juice fast and lifestyle changes and other alternative therapies before even considering chemo. chemo is hell. just my opinion. my mom’s friend got chemo for that, lived another 3 years then died anyway.
Rectal bleeding can appear in a variety of forms. There may be small amounts of bright red blood that is mixed with stool or that shows up on toilet paper after wiping. Bright red blood can also be discharged from the rectum in small to massive amounts without an accompanying bowel movement. Blood clots can also be present with rectal bleeding.
Another type of rectal bleeding occurs when there is blacken blood mixed in with stool. Stools may appear black and tarry, or maroon in color. Blood in the stool may also be in such small quantities that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. This is called fecal occult blood, and may indicate a serious conditio
Finding out why you are experiencing rectal bleeding may end up saving your life. It is not easy to experience this kind of problem, it may lead to severe cancer. Much better to consult your Doctor for immediate treatment.
