H! Thank you for using HCM

According to these examination I would say that your gastrointenstimal tract has some conditions :

- In esophagus you have acid reflux , acid from stomach go to esophagus causing damage of mucosa called esophagitis . The reflux esophagitis is state A ( damage of mucosa
-Diverticulosis - in Sigma colon -it consist of a herniation mucosa through the thickened colonic muscle.We use the term diverticulosis when there are diverticula which are asymptomatic .

- Colon angioectasia -small vascular malformation of the gut. Can be the cause of bleeding and Amelia .
- Internal hemorrhoid -swallen veins inside the colon ,they cause pain itching , bleeding.
These conditions cause bleeding and may be the reason of your anemia when they complicate .
I would suggest to avoid constipation and when if you have bleeding call you doctor .

Wish you good health.
