On: Are colonoscopies worth it?

[szundi]

Advice too simplistic, end of colon can emit blood also and then it’s brighter

Just get ur ass checked, end of story. Medical emergency or not. You're paygrade is way to low to make that call (fuguratively speaking)

Edit: i can only lead an ass to the proctologist, i cannot make it "drink" ;)

“Recurrent bleeding from colon is bad, go see a doctor.” Is a fairly simple rule.

IMHO depends on the amount. If you are severely dehydrated and you notice your stool physically hurt coming out. A small amount of blood might honestly not be unexpected.

Edit: To be clear “severely dehydrated” is kinda an important factor here. Point being that if the cause is obvious I dont see why you’d get a colonoscopy. Please correct me if im wrong instead of just downvoting for anyone who knows more about this thx ^^

If you are consistently severely dehydrated that’s also a good reason to see the doctor ;)

But yeah, if it happens once it’s not necessarily a problem. It’s when you keep having bloody stool that it’s a good idea to get checked.

Why is the amount that you care for your own ass so ant-sized?

It doesn’t matter. Go. See. A. Doctor.
