10 Diverticulitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Rectal Bleeding
Unfortunately, as a result of constipation and the feces being lodged into the colon for a long period of time, it is not uncommon for rectal bleeding to develop as a symptom of diverticulitis.
This symptom can occur in many forms - from excessive bleeding at once, the presence of blood in the stool to constant bleeding over a large period of time. Rectal bleeding is a serious symptom that can also be caused by numerous reasons. This is why it is essential for you to report this symptom as soon as you notice it to your doctor so further testing can be done.
