Reply to "Anal bleeding with running"

Sooo glad I'm not alone on this one. I've been running for years, all after surgery and the bleeding is only a recent thing. Same situation as others, only blood when I empty my pouch immediately after my run then no more. I had a scope a couple of months ago and everything was fine but there was a "floppy" bit in my pouch which I was told was just one of those things that happens and is nothing to worry about.

I was assuming that was causing the bleeding and had put it out of my mind until a recent race where I felt like my body was shutting down as I ran. I turned out to have iron deficient anaemia.

Feeling quite low as I'm in the process of taking my iron tablets, trying to build up my stores, but not wanting to risk running just now and delay my recovery. It sucks because I was supposed to run a half marathon for the first time next month, but that ain't happening now.
Would be interested to hear how everyone else's stories have turned out, bearing in mind how old the original posts are!
