Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
No it can't possibly cause any internal bleed. It's a small piece and will pass on with stools. It may cause some kind of irritation or some bleeding that will be minute enough and will go unnoticed. BUT CAUTION: is that if you see black or blood tinged stools, or you feel fever, then you should go to the physician to work up. But it will not be needed I think.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable starred feedback to help me assist you in a better way. Go to my profile to write a Review regarding your experience with me here at my Virtual clinic.
