Dark Brown Bleeding Since Eight Weeks. Is This Dangerous?
Question: Hi, I am 25 and I have been bleeding dark brown blood for 8 weeks, what's up with me? I am worried
Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for contacting Healthcare Magic.
I am not sure from your question if you are bleeding per rectally or from vagina. From where ever it is certainly you need to be worried and see a specialist.
If it is in the stools then probably you urgently need to see a gastroenterologist and need proper work up for your bleeding. Work up will include few blood tests mainly complete haemogram, liver tests, upper GI endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Chances are that with these tests the cause of bleeding should be apparent. But if these are non-conclusive then some investigations for bleeding from small bowel will have to be done.
If you are bleeding from the vagina then you need to see a gynaecologist.
Best wishes.
