What Treatment Can Be Done For A Bleeding Rectum And For The Appearance Of Clots?
I am 47 yrs old I have been bleeding from my rectum off and on I can't go without taking something and sometime it's still hard to go and also clots come out to and I feel bloated just about all the time and it doesn't hurt to go either but it feel like there's something keeping me from going

well dear at an age of 47 with per rectal bleeding i would recomment a digital rectal exam followed sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to rule out any less serious pathology like hemorroids to some serious pathology like carcinoma. stay safe
