Suggest Remedy For Vaginal Bleeding And Burning Sensation In Stomach
Question: Hi, I have a female friend 60 years of age... slow to go to see her doctor I am trying to encourage her... she has been experiencing bleeding she thinks passing blood from her stomach, as she has been feeling a burning sensation there, but she is also having nosebleeds. This seems to have been happening on a daily basis as it comes and goes. She also has a very poor appetite. Your advice would be appreciated.

Consult the doctor at the earliest

Any bleeding episode from the genital or gastrointestinal should be seriously evaluated .
Considering her age the risk of malignancy is high.
Hence it is important to get baseline investigations like Complete blood picture and Ultrasound of the abdomen.

Thank you for your reply Dr XXXXXXX ... can you briefly explain how the nosebleed and the stomach bleeding might be somehow connected?
Can you suggest something I might say that without frightening her, would persuade her to see her doctor urgently.

Brief Answer:
Educate her about the risk of malignancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I understand your concern.
Nosebleeds are quite unique.
They generally cannot be attributed to bleeds elsewhere in the body.
Nosebleeds usually point to uncontrolled high blood pressure particularly in the elderly.This requires serious evaluation of the Cardiovascular system.
Pertaining to GIT bleed or else where any the need to rule out Malignancy is high.
Hence just tell her the following.
1.Risk of elevated blood pressure is high.
2.Need for Cancer(age related) rule out is high.
Educate her in need for above two,since both conditions need early diagnosis and treatment for higher survival and quality of living.
Thank you.
