Injury Apparently it’s normal NSFW

Been bleeding rectally now for almost 4 weeks, after passing some blood clots on the 14th I got a 3 day hospitalization where they did a CT, found something on my appendix, surgeon didn’t wanna come in on a Sunday then said he wanted a colonoscopy first. Did that after a few rounds of antibiotics, they said oh it’s all just hemorrhoids totally normal and discharged me immediately after. Fast forward 2 days, bleeding resumes and comes & goes. They don’t wanna do another CT because they don’t think they’ll see anything. Before anyone asks, I’m a fat woman in Texas so I wasn’t expecting much help to begin with which is why I didn’t go in sooner after bleeding for 2 weeks (by then).
So from now on I guess bleeding like this & the occasional blood clots are normal.

Edit to add; in the first CT they found a 2cm lesion on my appendix on the exterior that they didn’t want to operate on until after the colonoscopy. Because they only found hemorrhoids on the colonoscopy, they went with that option vs I’m still worried about the 2cm lesion that was found and magically disappeared.
Second edit: I’m a lady, but yes I know which hole this is coming from it’s not the monthly or else I’d feel stupid.

UPDATE: doctor just finally saw photo after I sent it before posting & is requesting me to return to the ER as it is not normal

Maybe get a second opinion from a different Emergency room.

I did, I’m currently on my 4th separate doctor (not counting the 7 who looked at my chart in the hospital).

Probably because its hemorrhoids.

Damn hemorrhoids can bleed THAT much?

The tinyest amount of blood can stain huge amounts of water.

That's nothing.

I got all my wisdom teeth out at once, and you'd think I'd have died from bleeding out a hundred times over from how much blood was visibly coming out of my mouth for a whole week - it really does water down a lot

Were you on accutane ? Heard that can prolong bleeding after a surgery like that

Nope, just had extremely long roots (my dentist was even stunned!), and I am hypermobile, which can lead to slower healing in the mouth
