Hi,
It's understandable to be concerned about your wife's symptoms, and it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to potential health issues. Given that she has recently been diagnosed with thrombocytosis, it's important to monitor any bleeding closely and seek medical attention if it worsens or becomes more severe.
Blood in the stool can be a symptom of many different conditions, including hemorrhoids, but it can also be a sign of more serious issues, such as inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, or colon cancer. If your wife's symptoms persist or worsen, it would be a good idea to have her evaluated by a healthcare provider, who can determine the cause of the bleeding and recommend appropriate treatment.
In the meantime, it's important for her to stay hydrated and avoid foods that can irritate the digestive system, such as spicy or fatty foods. If the bleeding becomes more severe, or if she experiences other symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, or weakness, she should seek medical attention immediately.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
