Hematochezia: Blood In Stool צואה דמית

Blood in the stool is often caused by a benign process such as hemorrhoids and ulcers as well as a malignant or inflammatory process in some cases. The treatment of hematochezia involves an exam to determine the source of the bleeding, labs to determine blood count and blood loss, and an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy.
