I am not normally constipated, but as a result of a bad tooth I was not eating, and I was on a combination of antibiotics and pain killer (vicodin). I was severely constipated, so much so that after having not been able to go for about a week I did a saline enema. This ended the constipation; however, it lead to what has not become a very big nuisance and worry, rectal bleeding.
I have been bleeding 2-3 tablespoons of blood out of my bum 3-5 times a day for the last week. I called my family doctor, and he told me to go to the Emergency Department. There, they did an obstruction series of x-rays on my lower bowel (and found no blockage) also some blood work to see if my hemoglobin was OK (which it was), and a rectal exam in which he said he felt a "dry" inner hemorrhoid, and an amount of blood came out when he did the rectal exam. He said to schedule an appt. with my fam. doc. to set up a colonoscopy. It was probably a hemorrhoid from the constipation, but he thought it best I was checked out with the colonoscopy.
So, today is day 7 of this conundrum. I am tired, and tired of bleeding. It is also very worrisome. So, should I go back to the Emergency Dept. (being that it is sat. and my doctors office is closed)? Or, should I wait it out a few more days until my doc’s office is open?
I will be starting the master cleanse soon and I would like to know the minimum that I can take the laxative tea/salt water solution? I don’t want this to interfere with my job, so can I just take it in the evening before bed? Is every couple of days possible?
Also, do I need to do both laxative tea AND salt water or just one? How should I switch off between the two?
I had gastric bypass, which was pretty much similar in the terms of being on a liquid diet and starving, and I didn’t have to do any laxatives or saline and I was fine in terms of bowel issues. Other than the fact that I had very few.
Sorry about all the questions, I hope there are some experts out there to help me! Thanks ![]()
