My apologies for the title but - has anyone diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer had anal bleeding - mine is slight but quite red - I cant work out wether it is piles or the prostate ?

Thank you all in anticipation of your relies

A proctologist or gastroenterologist can fix it if is is just hemorrhoids.

Hi Raoulmaher,

Have you been through radiation therapy - if so, that could be the reason. We discussed this here recently: healthunlocked.com/advanced...

Had SBRT 2017 and got slightly burnt. Periodically have bright (means from the lower section of GI). My Dr had me take 400 IU VIT E and each time it stops within. 10 days.

Do you have any constipation? I sometimes do and when passing large hard stools, I get some bright red blood with them. With "normal" or soft stools I see no blood.

34 years ago that was my first symptom, periodic blood on toilet paper. At 41 I had a sigmoidoscopy, a week later a lower anterior resection for stage C (old system) rectal cancer. Take Allen’s advice and see a gastroenterologist….

Consult a doctor asap.......life is full of surprises, like rectal bleeding ........Take care!!!

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Im with Tall Allen, piles.

Another note, reading your bio, I would slap your doctor silly for his bedside manner. Its like he's not encouraging you to fight.

Thanks guys for the replies I did have bleeding before radiation treatment so I guess andf hope its hemorrhoids
