What Causes Persistent Bleeding In The Throat?

Hi there, was wondering if you could help me. I keep getting a bleeding throat. Sometimes there is a lot of red blood and overtimes there is less and its more brown coloured. I have had it for about 2 months now in varying levels but its been pretty consistent and hasn t gone away. I gave up smoking about 2 weeks ago but it doesn t appear to have changed anything and it still happens in varying degrees. I have tried looking into everything even whether it is something caused by oral sex but I think that is unlikely as it doesn t seem to bear any correlation. I don t have any cold like symptoms and usually my throat isn t even sore it just bleeds. I really have no idea what it is. I also have a healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise everyday. Any ideas?!

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi

Welcome in H.C.M.

I understand your concern, here I would like to tell important causes of blood in sputum.

1- Ulcer in throat (base of tongue, tonsils, larynx).

2- Ulcer or infection at posterior part of nasal cavity or nasopharynx.

3- Lesions of lungs.

4- Lesions of retro molar area.

5- Diseases of blood as thrombocytopenia and leukemia.

Considering all above I would like to say that all above have separate line of treatment. So you please consult your E.N.T.doctor for thorough examination and treatment.

Thanks for consulting H.C.M.
