Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Light Pink Discharge During Bowel Movement While Having Chemotherapy?
I m on Chemo for stage 4 lung cancer. Just recently I ve noticed some very light (pink) when I have a bowel movement. Because of the chemo, a movement has been very difficult until about the 3rd day after treatment. Could this be a bladder infection or maybe worse? Sorry, the pink is emitting from my penis.
It is quite common while on chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can cause damage to mucosal skin like in your cervix and can cause minor spotting. In most cases, it will settle by itself without any complications.
It symptoms persist better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
