Explained
Detailed Answer:
hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
The loss of blood can occur from anywhere in the gastrointestinal system.
It can be in any part.
The causes range from simple causes like infection, gastritis and trauma to severe causes like cancer.
When blood is lost in the intestines or stomach, the blood comes out in stools.
This causes anemia if the rate of loss of blood is more than the blood that body produces in a day.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
