Blood clot while on rubber band ligation

Posted , 3 users are following.

29yo Male here. I had rubber band ligation on stage 2 internal haemorrhoids. 3 bands were placed. Since then, I have blood clot out on toilet paper during 1 or 2 mins straining. I am still able to pass gas however I do not have any bowel movement yet. I don't feel any pain and I don't think the harmorrhoids will drop at such early stage.

The A&E doctor told me it's normal but I am still worried about the blood clot and blood which cover almost half the toilet paper. Please advise me. Thank you

    yes, it's pretty normal. It will be concern only if the keeps bleeding non stop. Else should be fine.

    Hi, hope you are Fine now.

    little blood is normal after Band application. But if it continuous then you have to revisit your doctor.
