75 Years Old Noticed Thin Line Of Blood In The Stool. What Could Be The Cause?
Question: My Morther is 75. He is generally very healthy. Couple of times she has seen a thin line of blood in the stool. What could be the cause?
Hi,
Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX I understand your worry.
U should be worried if
1. Her appetite is poor.
2. She has lost weight noticeably.
3. Constipation alternating with loose stools.
Otherwise, it could only be a hard stool that could have caused this.
Kindly take medical advice if above symptoms are present or the bleed continues….
Hope I answered your query. Kindly get back for doubts if any.
Regards,
Dr GS
