Visit To A&E Yesterday
28 Answers
Had to take Little Tiggs to A&E yesterday. Over the last few months since lockdown he has been bleeding when going to the toilet and has had some tummy aches every now and again. Our GP prescribed movicol in June which he was taking reluctantly due to the taste. Everything seemed to go back to normal, although there was still a bit of bleeding, until Wednesday night when he went to the loo and there was quite a lot of fresh blood coming out. I was quite worried and rang the GP first thing yesterday. She referred us straight to A&E.
Blood tests were done and they ruled out all inflammatory things like crohns and colitis. The paediatrician said there was nothing to worry about and that it was due to constipation and straining. He's never had this problem and is usually regular. He eats plenty of fruit and veg and has always got a bottle of water with him wherever he is which I fill up.
But what causes so much bleeding? As I said this has been going on for a few months now.

The Paediatrician has given you a perfectly reasonable explanation for the rectal bleeding with which,based on your post,I would concur.
Fissures of the anus are predominantly painful and on you descriptions this is not a starter.
Why do you think that the amateur medica of ABcan be of further assistance?
