Colon Polyps

[nailit]

Just been for yet again for another invasive medical procedure with no answer.
Yet another camera up the rear end, and again removal of polyps. (Plus piles, which I knew about)
+ A biopsy.

Cant complain whatsoever about the NHS. Have been fantastic, as they have been throughout the pandemic...got seen quickly etc.

But why cant I get to the bottom (Pun intended or not) as to why I keep bleeding from my arris?

Polyps removed ...again.
Why Have I at 56 years of age had 20 yrs worth of having polyps removed?
(It started in my late 20's)

Why do I keep bleeding from my backside periodicallly?

Do polyps even bleed? Looking at the camera today it just looked like a bubble which was removed. What causes these 'bubbles' anyway?
thanks.

You have 2 reasons to bleed rectally....polyps and piles or both....take your pick.

[Sqad]

Sorry...that is 3 reasons LOL

Thanks,
Thats really put my mind at ease....
None the wise though?

This doesn't answer all your question but it might help a bit. (Specifically, it says that the exact cause of bowel polyps isn't known but they're very common, affecting about a quarter of all people over 50, and that factors like being overweight can increase the risk of them developing):

Think positive anyway! Finding out that you've only got bowel polyps is a damned sight better than finding out that you've got bowel cancer! So be happy!

Couldnt agree more ;-)

Just want to know why I keep bleeding from the arriss?
This isnt a recent thing. Its been going on for decades.

Polyps can be a pre-cursor to cancer & is one reason for removing gall bladders. Apart from removing the colon I guess they could remove the polyps!

[Sqad]

I've bloody told you why........many times.

[nailit]

Im 56 this year,
This has been happening since my 20s.
Ive been told, constantly, that blood in your stools isnt normal.
(especially after 2 weeks).
But apperentaly it is?

Should I bother my GP with it or not.
Apperently not....
its just a tear, or fissure, or polyp ,or piles....
Wish I never bothered.

[Sqad]

It did me Nailit...educated 4 kids, always travelled first class, a villa in the Balearics ...........I never worried about my "bedside manner"..........whatever that is .

[nailit]

Has it ever occurred to you Sqad that for once in my life I might be scared and in need of some assurance????

Seriously?

No NEVER. and really to be honest....I couldn't care less.

[nailit]

No wonder your kids dont talk to you.

[Sqad]

Nailit...they do, but if they didn't, I still couldn't care less.

[nailit]

//Nailit...they do,//
reluctantly, from what you have posted in the long past.
I still value your medic imput though.
Just cant comprehend your medical intelligence with your personality.
Its at odds....

[Sqad]

Medical intelligence I worked hard for, personality I was born with.

You have no idea whether or not I have a medical degree, my input is just that.......a poster on AB.
I don't care whether you take my advice or not especially as there are plenty of links to websites flying around.

[davebro]

I think squad is the reincarnation of James Robertson Justice's characters!

Fair play Sqad ;-)

Totally get that...

only asked about my polyps though???

;-)

Bothering me a bit?
Totally fed up of having cameras shoved up my ***......
I dont want to become depenant on fenntynal as well

[Sqad]

LOL...I like a little banter nailit -;)

You had better get used to having a camera up your "arris" as that will be repeated on subsequent or at least annual depending on the biopsy results.
