Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If this is the history of melena then it is not easy to find it out because long track is there right from the anal to upper GI part, all is this needed for careful investigations. If this is the history of malignancy then it is much important to look for secondary lesion, sometime it could be due to constipation that might cause the fissures and hemorrhoid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
