hello..
it is a ind of oestrogen used for prostate cancer..
it generally causes clotting of blood..not bleeding.
it is better if you can get him properly evaluated by a gastro surgeon for the cause of bleed..
there can be lot of causes for upper gut bleed like
esophageal varices
liver problems
ulcer in stomach etc..
approach a doctor as soon as possible because at times it can be life threatening..
if you have anymore doubts immediately message me..
