hi everyone. I havn't been on here for quite a while. I am trying to stay active but have found walking very tiring so started biking at an easy pace.
However I have found that I am bleeding afterwards from my bottom. anyone run into this and what was your solution. I had a gel bike seat cover and that still didn't help. thanks for your assistance.

Are you just spotting blood or are you having a lot of bleeding (soaking through something)?
The seat helps but if you haven't been on a bike since your surgery then it may be a question of irritation of the zone (which can be quite fragile for some) and that can cause bleeding.
If it is just very mild bleeding I would try again...if it is a lot of blood then I would stop and let it heal before trying again...(and if it starts again I would talk to my doctor to check it out)

It was mild bleeding. Will the zone toughen up if I keep riding?
Gee, after the number of years post op you are, it probably is as healed and toughened as it gets. If it is very minor and resolves quickly, I would not worry too much about it. But, if it has been a while since you've been scoped, it would not hurt to get things checked out.

Just scoped in February, both ends and aside from mild pouchitis I am good. thanks for responses! ��
