What Caused A Bloody Discharge From The Rectum Of A Diabetic HBP Person?
My husband has blood that is discharged from his rectum. It looks similar to a woman's menstral cycle with the amount of blood. He is diabetic and has high blood pressure. He has had two colonoscopies with nothing found with either. I am very concerned . Any thoughts?

Dear sir I understand your concern.
in my opinion there might be internal bleed,some times it may be in small intestine which is not accessible to regular colonoscopy.
i suggest you to undergo Capsular endoscopy which will scan small intestine also.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back.
Otherwise please accept & rate my answer. I will appreciate your review about my answer.
Best Regards.
