Cortisone rectal foam

I wanted to see if any of you have had to use that medicine before. My Dr prescribed this for me today. I have been bleeding from my rectum lately. He said that it's normal to bleed since they haven't removed my rectum yet and it is diseased. I know that some have mentioned that they had some issues regarding bleeding so thought I would share. Hopefully the bleeding will stop!

My surgeon prescribed the foam for me. It didn't seem to easy to use and didn't seem to give me any relief. I also have a diseased rectum left after surgery. I am having it removed in Dec. The predisone I was on was the only thing that brought some relief. My doctor doesn't want me on it before the surgery.I hope you get some relief from the foam and the bleeding stops.

Yes, Chantal.. I used the foam years ago.. It did help calm things down.. I pray that it will work for you and be able to heal the bleeding.
