Laser Lipo and rectal bleeding. Is this a side effect?

Your anal bleeding is eithera) a hemorrhoid (best case scenario)b) perforated bowel during the procedure (highly unlikely) in which case you would have other symptoms that are much more severe such as high fever, unbearable abdominal pain, etc. this would be a medical emergencyc) if you have a history of ulcers, you may have exacerbated your ulcers if you took a lot of NSAIDs to control your pain after your laser liposuction procedureI'm guessing and hoping that the bleeding is unrelated to your laser liposuction procedure and hope you're doing well

Typically, anal bleeding has nothing to do with laser liposuction.Rectal bleeding is most commonly due to hemorrhoids, but there are other serious conditions that can cause it.The only way laser liposuction could cause rectal bleeding is if one of the cannulas was pushed into the abdomen and perforated the colon.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
