I ve noticed that there has been blood in my stool but today i went to the bathroom and blood came out
Hi.noted history of gallbladder surgery and post-operative pain. Even those who have been operated on several years ago can experience post-operative pain, tolerable in character and resolving spontaneously. If it is persistent/progressive, a follow-up consult with your doctor is best, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. You may include banana in your diet to lessen episodes of loose stools. Re your blood-streaked stools, this may not be related to your gallbladder surgery. Hemorrhoids and other perianal and colorectal pathologies must be ruled-out. A thorough clinical examination and evaluation by a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, is best. Diagnostics (such as fecal occult blood testing, photocopy, colonoscopy, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
