When to seek urgent colorectal care

What types of issues warrant urgent colon care in Houston? Sometimes it can be hard to tell if the health problem you’re facing is considered “urgent.”

To remove the guesswork, our surgeons recommend seeking care in Houston when experiencing the following acute colorectal symptoms:
Continual rectal bleeding
is a reason to seek out urgent care in Houston. The blood can show up in the stool itself, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl. Things like constipation and hard stools can cause rectal bleeding, but it’s best to get this issue checked out by professionals.
Rectal pain
can be due to issues ranging from hemorrhoids to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our physicians can help manage the pain and ensure there is nothing serious. 
Severe abdominal pain
warrants seeking medical attention as soon as possible. Our team can get to the root of the problem and treat it so that you can live comfortably again. 
Bowel obstruction
is the inability to pass gas or stool, and it can be very uncomfortable and even dangerous. Whatever is causing your bowel obstruction, we have the urgent care you need to help get you some relief. 
Post-surgical complications
are always a good reason to schedule a same-day colorectal appointment in Houston, TX. We can help manage these issues and get you back on the road to recovery.
