| Question: | I had a solitary ulcer in my rectum some years ago that was diagnosed by a specialist after I was bleeding from the back passage. I have now started bleeding again. Is it worth going back to the doctor to have the ulcer reassessed? |
| Answer: | Yes!! Any abnormal bleeding from the anus (back passage) must be assessed by a doctor as soon as possible. The bleeding may just be a recurrence of your ulcer, piles or some other benign disease, but it could also be something more serious, and the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances of a cure.
Even if nothing nasty is present, treatment may remove something that is troublesome, and reassure you that all is well.
Please see your general practitioner as soon as possible for a thorough check up. |
