Had co;orectal cancer. Done radiation, bracytherapy. Started bleeding, severe anemia. Does hemoroids hurt?
Patient: I had a co;orectal cancer 2 yrs ago and underwent radiation and bracytherapy in th rectal area. I was good for the first 6 months and then I started to bleed more and more. last week I did my CEA reading and no more cancer was apparent. I have however severe anemia and bleed heavily every day. What can that be. Even my dr seems to be confused as we doublted colon cancer but thankfully it is not that.can hemoroids hurt and blled to the point of me having sever anemia. My diet is strickly vegetarian. Thanks Victoria Doctor: For hemorroids  if  not prolapsed  yet  proctoscopy  may  reveal  them.  For  higher  bleeding  sites  sigmoidoscopy  is  used. Your bleeding time, prothrombin time, clotting time, platelet count, liver  function  tests  should  also be  done. Bleeding should  be  arrested  earliest  by  detecting the  site.
