Rectal bleeding after c-section!
Question: Rectal bleeding after c-section
I just had a repeat c-section a week and a half ago!. I haven't really been hungry so I haven't really eaten much in days!. Two days ago I got my appetite back!. I ate my first full meal!. About an hour later I got a huge pain in my stomach that caught me so hard I had to sit down!. It was immediately followed by the urge to go!. (TMI ALERT) First alot of bright red blood then diarrhea!. Well the last three days after I eat guaranteed the same thing happens!. My OB is on vacation so I went to the ER!. Even though I have had hemorrhoids my both my pregnancies and during the exam the doctor only saw one hemorrhoid when she applied pressure I didn't bother me at all, they still told me to go home and use Tucks pads and follow up with my DR!.
Anyone have any idea what's going on!.!. I'm convinced this is not just simple hemorrhoidsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The bright read blood is indicative of bleeding in the LOWER gastro-intestinal (GI) tract -- like the colon, rectum, and anus!.
Blood from the C-section, or other areas would probably not have come from there!. Blood from higher up (small intestine, stomach [ulcer] ) would show up as black stools, not red blood!.
I'm assuming the ER did a thorough exam!. I think I'd follow the ER suggestion, especially the part about the followup with the doctor!.
