Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this bleeding and lower abdominal pain. If the amount of blood loss is much or has failed to decrease in volume and frequency since onset, I will suggest that you should get consulted. It is true that excess alcohol may be responsible for bleeding in the intestines but lasting longer or in much quantities definitely needs a more aggressive step to halt and correct this problem. Expectant management is only undertaken if blood volume is minimal.
On the other hand, there are many other possible causes of bleeding and abdominal pain. This could have been a mere coincidence and not the exact cause. A complete medical exam would be able to make the exact call as being related to alcohol if no other problem is identified.
In all, if bleeding or pain is much, seek immediate consultation. If it is minimal and bearable, you may choose to observe again and only seek further medical attention should it fail to stop or reduce progressively. You have experienced some of the side effects of alcohol consumption, I will suggest that you consider cutting your alcohol consumption to lowest possible levels to prevent both short and long term complications like cancers, liver failure, bleeding an complications related to drunkenness.
I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information if need be. Thanks.
