Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a symptom of digestive system disorders. The digestive tract extends from the mouth to the anus. Bleeding can occur in any part of the digestive system, ranging from mild spotting to life-threatening hemorrhage.
Most bleeding from the lower digestive tract is due to benign disorders such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulae or skin disorders. A trained physician must evaluate symptoms to ensure a more serious cause of bleeding is ruled out. These may include colorectal cancers, intestinal polyps, diverticular disease, or radiation-related changes.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can affect individuals of all ages but is more commonly observed in elderly individuals, those with gastrointestinal conditions, heavy alcohol consumers, and chronic NSAID users.
If you’re facing the discomfort and challenges of gastrointestinal bleeding, it’s time to find relief. We invite you to seek the empathetic support, personalized diagnostics, and advanced treatment options available at West Island Colorectal Clinic.
