Rectal Bleeding Pathway
Causes of Rectal Bleeding
Haemorrhoids
Fissure-in-ano
Other benign ano-rectal pathology
Polyps
Cancer
Diverticular disease
Colitis
Haemorrhoids
Common >15%
Usually associated with perianal symptoms
Often associated with straining
High fibre
Bulking agents
Topical agents
Exclude serious pathology
Banding / injection – maximum twice
Rubber band ligation
Thrombosed external haemorrhoid
Stapled haemorrhoidectomy
Stapled haemorrhoidectomy
Fissure-in-ano
Common esp young adults
Anal spasm
Rectal bleeding and pain
Often assoc with straining
Difficult to examine
Fissure-in-ano
Sentinel Tag
Fissure-in-ano management
6/52 GTN or Diltiazem ointment
? Lignocaine, ?anxiolytic, ?stool softener
Clinical review – 1/20 underlying pathology
Need to visualise rectum
Anal Warts
Anal Cancer
Carcinoma sigmoid colon
Rationale for early flexible
sigmoidoscopy in rectal bleeding
Haemorrhoids – common and may coexist with other pathology; treatment
unreliable
Fissure – difficult to examine; sometimes
associated with serious pathology
Reassurance of “nothing serious”
Colonic disease – allows a reliable, safe,
preliminary assessment
