Ok so I gave birth 3 months ago. I’ve been having some rectal bleeding for about 2 weeks, only when I have a BM. It started after a little straining with a BM. I’m really assuming it’s an internal hemorrhoid, but I saw a gastro who thinks I need a full colonoscopy, not just a sigmoidoscopy. I’m terrified of the sedation because I have a really slow heart rate at rest, in the 40’s and low blood pressure. My gastro says that she uses proferol for sedation and won’t do it without sedation. Should I get a second opinion? Or put it off a few weeks and see if the bleeding stops? Would precancerous polyps continue to bleed even with soft BMs? Also, I’m 33 and my parents both have had precancerous polyps.
