Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been bleeding from my bowels , a lot of blood, for quite sometime now. Sunday I started vomiting blood as well. I vomited so hard I have actually hurt my sides and back and my stomach is very tender as well. Could this be serious? What do you think it could be? Or is it just the flu going around?
Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due to peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, raised portal hypertension, cirrhosis. I would suggest to consult gastroenterologist and undergo examination, USG scan, endoscopy/colonoscopy, blood tests like LFT, stool calprotectin to confirm cause Specific treatment depend on cause So consult gastroenterologist as early as possible Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. SAGAR
