Blood In Stool, Fatigued, Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Hair Fall, Ulcers. Done Colonoscopy And Endoscopy. Reason?
Hi...I'm a healthy 42 year old female and recently found large amounts of blood in my stool. I am severly anemic and have been feeling awful for the past 6 months. ie, fatigue, troubles focusing, dizzy, lightheaded, hair is falling out. Friday
I had a colonoscopy that proved negative, so the gastro dr scheduled and endoscopy today. He said my stomach is "riddled with ulcers". Since I was recovering, I didn't have a chance to talk to the dr after the test, but wondering if the ulcers are the reason I'm so anemic and if you think this is the reason for blood in my stool.
You haven't mentioned whether any of the ulcer in stomach was bleeding or not, if yes whether any endotherapy was done or not.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

Blood In Stool, Fatigued, Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Hair Fall, Ulcers. Done Colonoscopy And Endoscopy. Reason?
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Yes the anemia and blood in stool may be due to ulcers in stomach as colonoscopy is normal. However the lesions or ulcer may also be located in small intestine also. You haven t mentioned whether any of the ulcer in stomach was bleeding or not, if yes whether any endotherapy was done or not. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
