Does this sound familiar?
Vomiting blood, black stool, maroon stool or visible rectal bleeding require different levels of urgency and investigation. Bleeding should never be diagnosed through a website message.
You do not need to identify the diagnosis yourself. Bring the pattern, previous treatment and what still feels unexplained.
03 / WHAT MATTERS NOW
Understand what changes treatment, monitoring or the need for further investigation.
Cause, severity, warning signs and the value of further investigation must be considered together.
The likely source guides investigation
History, examination, blood count, medicines and the appearance of bleeding help determine whether upper-GI endoscopy, colonoscopy or another investigation may be considered.
- Anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medicines
- Previous ulcer or liver disease
- Change in bowel pattern
- Anaemia and weight loss
- Previous endoscopy reports
Do not wait for an online response
Active heavy bleeding, fainting, confusion, severe weakness or vomiting blood requires emergency care. Call emergency services on 112.
