Concerned about blood! | The J-Pouch Group

kmbr108Member

I have had my JPouch for quite a while now (16 1/2 years)! Other than having an abscess I really haven't had too many problems, thank goodness. In the past week I have noticed some blood (not a lot) on the toilet paper when I wipe. It hasn't happened every time, maybe two or three. I took a better look today and noticed some blood that seemed to be around my stool as well. Could this simply be something as simple as hemorrhoids or something more serious. I don't have any pain or any other symptoms, just the blood. I have recently moved and am in search of a good doctor/rectal surgeon in the Los Angeles, CA area, so I haven't seen a doctor as of yet. Any comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi,

just noticed your post, you want to take a look my recent post under the thread "Lots of bleeding". I don't really have a good advice to you but my situation is even worse than yours, I have struggled with bleeding (small and massive) mostly all of the time i have had my j-pouch (since 2003).

Thanks

KMBR, my first guess would be hemorrhoids. If you can reduce straining on the toilet (e.g. with softer stool) you might see it calm down.
