Had a sigmoidoscopy before Xmas and a colonoscopy in January, all normal just one single diverticula found on sigmoidoscopy and colon rectal consultant just said it's normal as you age, can bleed? And to avoid nuts beans legumes seeds etc and discharged me.
Now for roughly about two months I've noticed at least one to two times after a bowel movement a week that the water looks as if it's mixed with something like blood, and on close inspection I could see like as if you dropped a drop of blood in water and how it disperses out iykwim, other times the water is normal after bowel movement and I don't see anything.
So as I had a normal colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy apart from the diverticula diagnosis is this what the consultant meant by saying they can bleed bearing in mind I was told I at the moment only have one single diverticula? No piles, no polyps as I said clear colonoscopy.
Anyone else had this?is it anything to worry about?
