What Causes Blood In Stools Post Injury?

Thorough clinical examination required by Physician
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Sir
Any significant history of presence of blood either in stools or urine following blunt abdominal injury requires thorough clinical assessment and examination by Clinician.
Blunt injury in the kidney area is unlikely to result in blood in stools , even then possibility of injury to either intestine or microscopic blood in urine can't be ruled out. I would suggest you the following
1. Consult your physician for thorough clinical examination
2. Ultrasound scan of abdomen In consultation with your Physician
3. Erect X ray abdomen
4. Urine routine and microscopic examination
5. Stool examination
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
Best regards

Acid suppressant like Pantoprozole will help
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
There is no substitute for assessment by good clinical examination. As i mentioned the bleeding from rectum could be unrelated to blunt abdominal injury sustained, this can be confirmed by good clinical examination.
I would suggest you the following if the bleeding is still persistent
1. Acid suppressant like Pantoprozole to be taken
2. Laxative like Lactulose will be helpful
If the bleeding recurs then consultation with your Physician is definitely required.
Take Care
Regards
Dr Deepak
