I've not been diagnosed as having Crohn's or IBD, and don't necessarily think I have either, but just wondering about a general question. Is it normal to need to go after eating a mid-to large-sized meal? What is considered the normal amount of poos for an adult a day? I heard somewhere that Dr...

Just wondering, I am not diagnosed with Crohn's or IBD, but recently had an EUA to remove a small nodule in my rectum. It had produced a polyp, which was removed during colonoscopy a few weeks back, which by the way was benign inflammatory according to biopsy. Other than that one spot, my...

I went ahead and did the EUA, my CRS said that basically the "mass" consisted of a small slightly-larger than pimple sized place in my rectum. He described it to my cousin who was there with me for the procedure as "very similar to a pimple like you'd get on the face". He said it was quite...

Thanks I was relieved about not having a fistula. I had put off having that nodule removed for a long time, but just got tired of dealing with it, and the CRS told me it needed to come out, so I just bit the bullet and did it. Procedure was pretty easy. Something about having a procedure though...

Thanks! EUA was a breeze. They took good care of me, good meds, felt nothing, bout 8 hours since a no pain yet knock on wood. Cautiously optimistic. Good to have it over with. Hoping I an bounce back & get back to normal quickly! My CR doc found & removed what he called a small pimple-like...

Went in today for my EUA, was really nervous about it, but I'm now home & cautiously optimistic. The CR doc saw me in the office last week for a follow-up after he had removed a small polyp which had caused bleeding with BMs. On my follow-up, he did the local exam & said the area stil drained...

I'm scheduled for an exam under anesthesia Friday, & pretty nervous about it, even though I know it's not a huge deal. So what can I expect? I have had a small lower rectal abscess/nodule for a long time, and at times it has caused a polyp which was recently removed during a colonoscopy, no big...

I can relate, I suffer from anxiety and it really sucks when you have a surgery. I am going to have an outpatient exam under anesthesia this week, which shouldn't be too bad, my CR doc is going to remove a rectal nodule and maybe a fistulotomy, but not sure if he'd do all that in the same...

I am not sure yet if I only have an inflamed nodule like a cyst, or abscess, or fistula (god forbid) and my colorectal doc says he won't know until he does an exam under anasthesia on me. I had an inflamed polyp removed recently from the area by snare excision, which was like a blister sitting...

Hi all, would like some advice or input if possible. I am 31 yo gay male, in good physical shape overall, but have had a small mass in my lower rectum for a couple of years. It began bleeding off and on, with bowel movements, I had a colonoscopy, which came back and said I had a benign rectal...
