How much does it cost (a good guesstimate) for colon endometriosis surgery?
I am getting ready to sign up for flexible spending at work. I need to know about how much surgery would cost. I am pretty positive I have colon endo. I am going to go back to the doc to discuss this once I get insurance. I told a former doc that I have always bled rectally when I have my period (for about 18 years now) and she looked at me like that was the strangest thing she had ever heard of and recommended a colonoscopy (which I am about to have done.). Also, I have a very physical job (I walk 8 hours a night and lift heavy boxes). How long do you think I would need to miss work? Thanks for any help.
Before anyone asks. I didn't seek help for this before because I have bled like this since I first started my period. I never thought it was abnormal (I know duh!). When I told the doc that I was having pelvic pains I had an ultra sound and laproscopy and they discovered I have PCOS.
What is the most common cause of loose bowel and bleeding?
I have a family member that has been suffering from fairly severe bouts of diarrhea over the past week and has seen blood in her bowel. She just informed me that she found blood and bowel in her bed when she awoke this morning. She is going to see the doc asap, but in the interim - does anyone know what could cause this? She had no idea that this occured during the night until she awoke in the morning.
