It could be hemorrhoids. Normally they would say something if they spotted hemorrhoids, though.

It could. But he couldn't feel or see any. That is the strange thing about the whole thing. I got a tube of Scheriproct. A prednisolon cream he said i could try in a week and maybe that helped. But it felt more that he just needed to give me something when he didn't have any answer.

Internal hemorrhoids might not be obvious to you except by bleeding. I'd hope they'd show up on a careful look with a sigmoidoscope, though, on the way to the pouch. I guess you could ask him if he looked. It may honestly not be a very big deal, as long as your pouch and cuff look okay.

Yes, that could be the answer.
The doctor wasn't worried at all and said that this many have this issues, but never really found a good answer to it. Me myself really want to know the reason to the bleeding, so i know it isn't anything serrious.
But will have a new check-up in two weeks. Hoping for some answers then.

Hi again!

 

Didn't find anything new during the new sigmoidoscope either. It is so weird. It is  better now, not so much blood. But got some leakes during night times. But there is still blood.

 

So afraid it could be something serious. Doesn't seem that the doctors think it is something serious. I have a new colonoscopy next week. I don't get it. Why do they still try to find something in my J-pouch when they never find something. 

 

My thought is that I am maybe allergic to something. That makes me bleed. Because the bleeding happens only occasionally. I had a month vacation also, and i didn't bleed anything during that period. Could it be stress related? Or something i am allergic to at work? 

 

 

I also bleed every single time I have to strain (and in the last year it happened most of the times I emptied), I keep my iron levels up through a supplement and managed to get normal red cell counts and normal iron and ferritin count so I try not to worry about it. My unique endoscopy didn't find any fissure nor hemorroid, but some inflamation, so I don't know if it's from a sort of chronic pouchitis (don't believe it) or cuffitis (I have half centimetre of rectum preserved), or just hemorrhoids or fissures, but I'm trying not to worry as my ge isn't particularly worried.

 

John don't worry too much about it, I was worried before discovering that actually bleeding, although not common, happens quite often with j-pouchs.

What other symptoms do you have? Do you have chronic pouchitis? I have a form of light pouchitis (thanks god) but it doesn't make me feel too much sick, I just take antibiotics once a month.

Hi!

 

I have som symptoms. Not so much blood anymore, but occasionally it happens.

After summer I have got some new symptoms. I doesn't feel sick or anything and my work and daily life haven't changed. But I have a much more urge to go to the bathroom, more than before, and have to go when i feel the urge.

Sometimes maybe to-three times a night. And more when I am at work. It sounds like the symptoms of a pouchitis, but doesn't have any fever. I feel kind of nauseous in the morning sometimes.

 

It started with blood, and now i just have to go to the toilet more often. And even in the night, something i didn't have a problem with before. It is quite tiring to not get a full night of sleep. Someone had the same symptoms??

Pouchitis usually doesn't cause a fever.
