Brief Answer:
Painless bleed Per rectum suggest Hemorrhoidal bleed
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
I appreciate your concerns regarding your wife.
Bleeding is most likely from hemorrhoids only. Treatment of which is simple
First step to treat hemorrhoids is to keep her stool soft by taking lots of fibres and fluid in your diet. I mean to say lots of fruits and vegetables. Other food items that have high fibre content are oats, whole wheat , ragi, barley, greens, beans, peas, lentils.
Some medicines are available like calcium dobesilate which is to be taken thrice in a day, tablet diosmin to be thrice a day, and euphorbia which is to be taken once in a day, the combination of which I found very useful in my patients with bleeding piles. You can get prescription of these drugs from your doctor. Most of the the time bleeding is stopped with these steps.
