I have a small hole that leaks a milky substance but not that often it occurs every few days. yet, this is the first time blood has ever been involved. I read a few pages and last few days I have took 800 mil gram ibuprofen. what could be the cause of this? I am also very young I m only 25

Hello,
A detailed evaluation is required to find out the cause. It can be due to small internal haemorrhoids (piles) or minor gastric bleeding caused by the use of Ibuprofen.
Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy. As of now avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen and take antacids like Pantoprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
