What Causes Ulcers,polyp,blood In Stool,bruising And Dehydration?
I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy done a couple months ago and they found 4+ ulcers and a polyp they would normally find in a 50+ year old person... and a few weeks ago I started having bright red blood in my stool. I have also been bruising easily and been feeling a little dehydrated and I would like to know what is going on with me?

Hi,Thanks for using HCM.
Bright red blood on toilet paper after you've had a bowel movement may be a sign of colon polyps or colon cancer, rectal bleeding can indicate other conditions, such as hemorrhoids or minor tears (fissures) in your anus. Examination by a doctor helps in confirming condition.
Biopsy from polyp is necessary to snow type of polyp.
Removal of polyp can be done through colonscopy using snare method.
Bruising is common in aged people due to thinning of skin and weakened vessel.
As you have blood in stool and bruising need to get examined by doctor. possible causes are if you are any blood thinning medications, platelet disorders or clotting system abnormality.
Consult your doctor for further management
Hope this helps you.
Regards
