I'm bleeding. Main causes of nosebleeds. What to do in such cases

The problem of nosebleeds, at first glance, may not seem relevant. But if we consider that conditions in which blood flows from the nose occur in every person throughout life, then the idea of ​​them changes dramatically. In addition, not all nosebleeds are harmless, even if they occur infrequently and stop on their own. Their description and main causes, correct assessment of clinical manifestations and ways to solve the problem are covered in this article.

Possible clinical picture and dangers

Nosebleeds are one of the few pathological conditions that are easier to diagnose than to treat. Symptoms of nosebleeds consist of a person complaining that blood is coming from the nose. Such bleeding can have varying intensity and occur under certain conditions. If, based on the activity of bleeding, one can roughly determine the source (nasal vessel) from which the blood flows, then detailing the circumstances under which such symptoms occur will help to calculate the cause of nosebleeds.

Regarding the clinical picture, it is worth noting the following features:

• Bleeding from the nose can be represented by the appearance of a few drops, a small portion, or profuse bleeding that does not stop despite the treatment measures taken. In this case, the blood comes out not only through the nostrils, but also, flowing down the back wall of the pharynx, is swallowed by the patient;
• Bleeding can occur in people of all age groups at rest, during sleep, after injury, at heights of physical activity, in the evening or in the morning;
• Most nosebleeds stop on their own without causing severe bleeding. But it also happens that intense bleeding causes prohibitively large blood loss. In this case, symptoms of anemia occur (pallor of the skin, general weakness, dizziness), drop in blood pressure, increased heart rate, decreased levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells);
• Ability to occur frequently. Most nosebleeds that occur due to serious illnesses are characterized by repeated attacks until their causes are eliminated.

Important to remember! Nosebleeds cannot be considered as an independent disease. It is always just one of the symptoms of a number of diseases. Therefore, when treating it, it is unacceptable to limit yourself to stopping bleeding. You can get rid of a problem only by influencing the primary links in its occurrence!

The intensity of nosebleeds depends on the diameter of the ruptured vessel

Common Causes of Nosebleeds

The causes of nosebleeds are very varied. Roughly they can be grouped in the form of a table.

How to determine the cause of nosebleeds based on symptoms

It is difficult to determine the likely cause of nosebleeds based on clinical manifestations alone. The diagnostic algorithm should consist of successive stages of assessing the patient’s condition. It is presented:

1. Measuring blood pressure. If an increase in its numbers is detected, we can conclude that most likely the nosebleed is caused by hypertension. It acts as a cause of frequent bleeding;
2. Determination of the condition of the skin. Pale skin combined with dryness is evidence of anemia. In this case, frequent bleeding should be regarded as a consequence of problems with the bone marrow (hypoplasia, leukemia);
3. Determination of the presence of hematomas and bruises. If any, this indicates the presence of problems with blood clotting (insufficient levels of platelets and coagulation factors);
4. Clarification of anamnestic data. It is necessary to pay attention to the presence of factors that could potentially cause conditions in which blood flows from the nose (harmful environmental conditions and lifestyle features). In most cases, such patients only sometimes encounter a similar problem and it goes away on its own after the elimination of the provoking factors;
5. Study of the nature of nasal breathing and nasal discharge. When these symptoms occur, the likely cause of nosebleeds is pathology of the nasopharynx;
6. Time of occurrence. Bleeding occurs more often in the morning due to overwork, lack of sleep and autonomic disorders;
7. A history of chronic pathology (diseases of the liver, nasopharynx, endocrine system, hypertension). Such bleeding is usually profuse and occurs for no apparent reason.

Important to remember! The most common reasons for bleeding from the nose are increased blood pressure and disruption of the nervous regulation of the body against the background of chronic mental and mental fatigue. But regardless of the cause, all patients with frequent and heavy nosebleeds are subject to a comprehensive examination (general and biochemical blood tests, coagulation tests, examination by a general practitioner and an ENT doctor). In this way, you can not only prevent their reoccurrence, but also begin treatment of the causative disease!

Features of the disease in childhood

In children, periodic bleeding from the nose is a fairly common complaint. As a rule, there is no cause for concern, even despite the child’s young age. The main thing is that bleeding is not accompanied by large blood loss and does not occur frequently. After all, a child’s growing body, especially during periods of active growth, becomes very vulnerable, which will ultimately affect its regulation by the autonomic nervous system and the condition of the nasal mucosa. Another common cause may be an overdose of vasoconstrictor nasal drops, which cause atrophy of the mucous membrane.

Nasal tamponade is one of the best methods to stop nosebleeds

How can you help?

Stopping nosebleeds in typical cases is not very difficult. But sometimes the bleeding becomes so intense that it poses a real threat to a person’s life. In any case, treatment measures should be presented:

• Strict physical and psycho-emotional rest;
• By giving a horizontal or semi-sitting position. At the same time, the head turns to the side and leans slightly forward. You should not tilt it back, as this will create a risk of blood leaking into the airways;
• Placing cold on the bridge of the nose;
• By introducing one or both halves of the nose, from which blood is flowing, a cotton or gauze swab soaked with vasoconstrictor drops (naphthyzin, rhinazolin, farmazolin, otrivin), hydrogen peroxide, vaseline or vegetable oil;
• Squeezing the corresponding half or the entire nose in the area of ​​its cartilaginous part;
• Blood pressure must be measured, and if it is elevated, it is lowered with medication (captopres, metoprolol, farmadipine, etc.)

If, against the background of the listed measures, bleeding from the nose does not stop, there is a need to stop it with the help of special medical manipulations (anterior and posterior tamponade of the nasal cavity, diathermocoagulation, surgical treatment - suturing and ligation of bleeding vessels).

Nosebleeds are a multifaceted problem that, in any case, should only be assessed by specialists.

Causes of bleeding

Let's look at the causes of the most common types of vaginal bleeding in women.

Any spotting that appears in the interval between two regular menstruation, that is, in the middle, beginning or second half of the cycle, can be caused by the following possible reasons:

• Implantation bleeding during conception. When the fertilized egg implants into the wall of the uterus, a woman may experience light spotting that lasts for several days. Such implantation bleeding develops even before the delay of menstruation, when the woman still does not know for sure that pregnancy has occurred. Implantation bleeding is normal;
• Pathologies of pregnancy. Bloody discharge in a woman in early gestation may be a symptom of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In the later stages of pregnancy, spotting always indicates a severe pathology, for example, placental abruption, threat of premature birth, etc.;
• Ovulation bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Typically, ovulation bleeding is scanty, and spotting is of a spotting nature, and it occurs strictly in the middle of the menstrual cycle (10 to 15 days after the start of the last menstruation). The duration of such ovulation bleeding ranges from several hours to two days. Women should remember that ovulatory bleeding is normal and does not indicate the presence of any pathology;
• Bloody discharge during the first months of using hormonal contraceptives (pills, patches, rings, implants, prolonged injections, etc.) is a variant of the norm, since the woman’s body “adapts” to its new mode of functioning. The fact is that a hormonal contraceptive contains a strictly defined amount of hormones, which enters the bloodstream. And the woman’s body had previously become accustomed to a different concentration of its own hormones, as a result of which it needs some time to readjust. Therefore, during the first 2 to 4 months from the start of using hormonal contraceptives, a woman may experience irregular bleeding from the vagina. Such discharge is usually spotty in nature and lasts up to several days. In the vast majority of cases, spotting stops a few months after starting the use of hormonal contraceptives;
• Missing one or more hormonal birth control pills. As a result of missing pills, a woman’s body’s hormonal levels are disrupted, which can cause short-term bleeding. Usually, spotting due to missing a hormonal contraceptive pill appears after a few days and lasts for a very short period of time - from hours to 2 days;
• Presence of an intrauterine device. Any spiral fits tightly to the mucous membrane of the internal cavity of the uterus, as a result of which the process of natural endometrial detachment may change. In a certain sense, the coil prevents endometrial detachment, delaying or changing the nature of menstrual bleeding. In addition, ordinary metal or plastic spirals have an irritating effect on the walls of the uterus, causing it to contract vigorously. It is these active contractions of the uterus that can provoke the appearance of bloody discharge from the vagina. Usually, spotting appears shortly after menstruation and continues for several days. In the presence of a regular coil, such bloody discharge is a variant of the norm. If a woman uses a hormonal IUD with progesterone, then the mechanism for the development of spotting is somewhat different. Thus, progesterone released from the spiral makes the uterus thin and extremely susceptible to any trauma or injury. As a result, after installing a hormonal IUD, a woman may experience irregular bleeding from the vagina during the intermenstrual period for several months. Over time, they decrease, and 6 to 12 months after the installation of a hormonal device, a woman may even stop menstruation. However, against the background of a hormonal spiral, this condition is a variant of the norm.

However, in addition to physiological, there are also pathological reasons for the appearance of bloody discharge from the vagina, when this symptom indicates any disease that a woman has.

The pathological causes of long-term or frequently recurring bleeding (heavy or scanty) in the interval between two menstrual bleedings are the following diseases:

1. Gynecological diseases:

• Polyps of the uterine cavity or cervix;
• Various types of uterine fibroids;
• Cancer of the female genital organs (uterus, cervix, vagina or ovaries);
• Chronic infections of the female genital area (chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, trichomoniasis, etc.).

• increased levels of prolactin in the blood;
• low levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism);
• increased levels of sex hormones in the blood.

In addition to the above-mentioned causes of bloody vaginal discharge associated with the female genital area, there are a number of factors that can provoke this symptom. However, these factors are not associated with female genitalia. So, non-gynecological causes of vaginal bleeding are the following factors:
1. Pathology of the blood coagulation system;
2. Taking medications that affect blood clotting (for example, Warfarin, Heparin, oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, antidepressants, etc.).

Since the causes of vaginal bleeding are highly variable, if they occur, you should consult a doctor and do not try to figure out the problem yourself.

Which doctor should I contact if I have bloody discharge?

Although spotting from the vagina can be caused not only by gynecological diseases, but also by pathology of blood clotting, however, despite this, you should always contact a gynecologist first. After all, gynecological diseases are much more likely to cause bleeding from the vagina than pathologies of the blood coagulation system. And if the gynecologist, after examination, finds out that the cause of bleeding is a pathology of the blood coagulation system, he will refer the woman to hematologist (make an appointment).

What tests can doctors prescribe for bloody discharge?

Accordingly, if there are signs of dangerous diseases, a woman should immediately call an ambulance and be hospitalized. And for relatively safe causes of vaginal bleeding, you should routinely visit a gynecologist and undergo all the necessary examinations and tests that the doctor prescribes.

Distinctive signs of dangerous bleeding from the vagina are their intensification over time, combination with severe pain in the lower abdomen or lower back, increased body temperature, a sharp deterioration in general well-being after the onset of discharge, paleness, decreased blood pressure, and increased heart rate. With relatively safe bleeding, a woman’s well-being never deteriorates sharply, quickly, suddenly and very strongly, so much so that she literally faints and is unable to move, perform conscious actions, etc.

Thus, it is obvious that we will consider what tests a doctor may order for bloody vaginal discharge in relation only to relatively harmless conditions.

If a woman experiences a small amount of bleeding exactly in the middle of the menstrual cycle, then the doctor will not prescribe any examinations or tests, since this situation is considered ovulatory bleeding and is considered normal. That is, during the period of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), a woman may experience scanty bleeding from the vagina, which lasts from several hours to two days. Ovulatory bleeding can be so scanty that it looks more like bleeding.

If a woman has scanty spotting in the second half of the cycle (between ovulation and the next menstruation), and unprotected sexual intercourse took place in the same cycle, then the doctor will first of all prescribe blood test for hCG (sign up), and after 4 - 5 days and Ultrasound of the pelvic organs (sign up), since this situation most closely resembles implantation bleeding at the very beginning of pregnancy, when the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus.

If a woman is pregnant, but the period is short (up to 12 weeks), then the appearance of spotting may indicate an incipient miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In such a situation, the gynecologist prescribes, first of all, an ultrasound of the pelvic organs, which makes it possible to differentiate an intrauterine pregnancy from an ectopic one. If, according to the results of an ultrasound, the pregnancy is ectopic, the doctor may additionally perform a puncture through the posterior vaginal fornix to confirm the diagnosis made by ultrasound. Further, if an ectopic pregnancy is detected, the woman is urgently prepared for surgery. If, according to the results of the ultrasound, it was possible to find out that the pregnancy is uterine, but unstable, since a miscarriage occurs in the process, the doctor may additionally prescribe a general blood test, a general urinalysis, a coagulogram, blood test for progesterone (sign up) and hCG, as well as a number of tests for sexually transmitted infections ( chlamydia (sign up), mycoplasmosis (sign up), gardnerellosis, gonorrhea (sign up), trichomoniasis, candidiasis, ureaplasmosis (sign up)).

If bloody vaginal discharge appears in a woman in late pregnancy, the doctor urgently prescribes only a general blood test, Rh factor test (sign up) And blood type (sign up), and urgently begins treatment, since such symptoms, starting from the 20th week of pregnancy, always indicate the development of life-threatening diseases for the mother and fetus, such as placental abruption, premature birth, etc.

If a woman has a metal or plastic non-hormonal intrauterine device, and periodically, after the end of menstruation, there is scanty bleeding from the vagina for several days, then the doctor prescribes only an ultrasound and flora smear (sign up), to be on the safe side, since such a condition is the norm for this type of contraceptives.

If a woman has bloody vaginal discharge between menstruation and is wearing a hormonal intrauterine device (for example, Mirena), then the doctor also prescribes only a smear for flora and an ultrasound, since this condition is a variant of the norm.

If a woman has mild bleeding or spotting, then first of all the doctor examines and evaluates the condition of the cervix and vagina. If the cervix is ​​damaged (for example, erosion or any bleeding formation is visible), the doctor must prescribe a smear for the flora, as well as colposcopy (make an appointment) And cervical smear for cytology (

Vaginal blood that appears outside of menstruation should not go unnoticed. After all, most often the cause of its appearance is disease. And severe bleeding can even be life-threatening. Let's look at several common reasons why a woman bleeds from her vagina.

After love...

The fact that rudeness can provoke injuries to the vagina and cervix is ​​understandable. It is also clear that such a phenomenon (the appearance of blood) is considered normal if this is the girl’s first experience. Bloody discharge after sexual intercourse occurs during loss of virginity. But if this happens to a woman who has been sexually active for a long time, then most likely she has problems with the cervix.

It could be a polyp, cyst, precancerous or even cancerous disease. Unfortunately, diseases of the cervix are most often asymptomatic, and the woman herself cannot find out for herself what is happening inside her. That is why you need to visit a gynecologist at least once a year for an examination and cervical smear test.

If you have bleeding from your vagina after sex, more than once, for no reason, that is, it has nothing to do with menstruation, you need to visit a doctor. There are even special rooms for the prevention and treatment of cervical diseases. Don't delay!

Contraception is to blame

Many women choose hormonal pills as a method of preventing unwanted pregnancy. It's convenient, safe and effective. But this method of contraception has many disadvantages - the need to take pills strictly according to the schedule and side effects. Such phenomena include bleeding from the vagina. It shouldn't bother you if it smears a little. Usually after 3-4 months of taking the drug everything goes away. As a last resort, you can switch to tablets with a slightly higher concentration of hormones.

Minor injuries accompany many people in childhood, so explaining to your child why there is bleeding is very important. Knowing your body will allow the child to avoid damage to his own body, and in the event of any incident, not to panic, but to quickly “heal” himself.

Why does blood flow from a scientific point of view?

The entire human body is intertwined with vessels - flexible tubes through which blood moves. Blood is a liquid that plays an important role in the human body. This liquid is not homogeneous, and only with the help of a microscope can you see what it consists of. The composition of blood includes:

• Erythrocytes are red cells that are components of blood. Red blood cells transport oxygen to all human organs, so the cells of the body do not die. Also, red blood cells carry carbon dioxide out of the cells and expel it out through the lungs with exhalation.
• Leukocytes are the protectors of our body. In addition to the fact that they destroy foreign bodies in the human body, as well as bacteria and viruses, leukocytes constitute the immune system thanks to the specific substances that they secrete.
• Platelets are blood elements that stop bleeding by thickening the blood.
• Lymph is a liquid consisting of water and various elements. It is in it that red blood cells, platelets and leukocytes “float”.

Blood, along with all its corpuscles, moves through the vessels with the help of the heart: it pumps blood like a pump, drawing it in on one side and pushing it out on the other. This is done with the help of the ventricles of the heart, which compress and unclench, moving blood through the veins and arteries. Blood saturated with oxygen moves through the arteries, which is where it gets its name - arterial. Venous blood, as everyone has already guessed, moves through the veins: it is darker because it is not saturated with oxygen.

When a person injures any part of his body, he touches and breaks small vessels - capillaries, causing blood to rush out and we see it on the surface of the wound. Within a few seconds, platelets begin to bind the blood, causing it to thicken and “coagulate”, the bleeding stops and a blood clot gradually forms at the site of the cut, and after the liquid has completely dried, a scab forms. Knowing all the physiological characteristics of blood, it will not be difficult to guess why the blood flows.

Why does blood flow during injuries?

If large vessels are damaged, blood can flow very strongly, and if arteries are damaged, it can even gush out like a fountain. Typically, bright scarlet blood at the site of injury and its strong flow indicate arterial bleeding. It is not easy to stop it on your own, so apply a tourniquet above the bleeding and urgently call an ambulance. Venous bleeding is no less dangerous and also requires medical intervention (such bleeding can be recognized by the dark color of the blood).

Severe injuries to the arms and legs may result in arterial bleeding, which can lead to severe blood loss and death, so in case of such injuries you should go to the hospital immediately.

On the other hand, if you damage your earlobe or finger, you will not be in any serious danger: the bleeding will be minimal, since the capillaries are damaged, and it will most likely end on its own. The main thing is not to get infected in this case!

With fractures, ruptures of large blood vessels very often occur, so such injuries are especially dangerous for a person of any age. It is impossible to treat a wound or somehow try to stop the bleeding in this situation on your own, so if such a disaster happens to you, then immediately call an ambulance.

If a person knows everything about blood circulation in the body, he will not be taken by surprise. Any situation in life can happen, and you need to be prepared for it. In particular, you need to prepare your children for them, thus worrying about their safety. After reviewing the information provided in the article, any parent will be able to explain to their child why blood flows.

When it comes to diseases that manifest themselves in intimate places, people often hide the problem and seek help only in advanced cases. This greatly complicates further treatment, since the inflammatory process has been developing for a long time. But blood from the anus may be the result of a serious illness or pathological condition, and a visit to the hospital cannot be postponed.

How to explain blood in stool

When there is bleeding from the anus, you should not panic and hide the problem. Medical problems are nothing to be ashamed of. It is necessary to find out why blood is flowing from the butt. Doctors deal with a variety of diseases every day, and the detection of blood from the anus in a patient will not become an obstacle in establishing a diagnosis and subsequent therapy.

There are various causes of bleeding from the anus:

You should not try to cure rectal bleeding on your own or hope that everything will go away on its own. Even if the spotting disappears after a couple of days, the problem is not solved and the bleeding will soon return. Blood from the anus and the reasons that provoke bleeding should be treated by a qualified doctor.

Nature of the discharge

To eliminate the problem of blood from the anus during bowel movements, it is necessary to understand that the causes and treatment of this condition are closely related.

Diagnostics plays an important role, however, to conduct high-quality diagnostics in laboratory conditions, the patient should be examined and interviewed.

Anal bleeding can be heavy or not, and varies in the type and color of the blood:

• When the blood from the anus is dark red or burgundy in color, disease may develop in the intestinal area.
• Dark blood clots from the anus may be due to hardening or development of diverticula in the large intestine. In this case, a person does not feel any symptoms for a long time until blood discharge from the anus appears, which is often accompanied by severe pain.
• The detection of scarlet blood is often found with hemorrhoids or anal fissure. Typically, traces of bloody discharge are not noticed in the stool itself, on napkins or underwear. Sometimes scarlet blood is detected from the anus without pain or any signs of disease, but even minor blood loss should not be left unattended.
• When red blood comes from the anus, this may indicate the development of neoplasms.
• Dark discharge and thick stools can be caused by a disease or pathology of one of the gastrointestinal tracts.

Damage to the anus

Minor blood loss or fairly heavy bleeding may occur due to an anal fissure. There will be light bleeding. When blood appears from the rectum, you should immediately consult a doctor. The appearance of blood from the anus may be the result of a fissure, but if left untreated, an infection will develop and the inflammatory process will begin. The color of the discharge is usually scarlet.

In this case, the disease will be accompanied by pain, and the therapy will be lengthy.

Bloody discharge appears directly during bowel movement. Going to the toilet becomes difficult due to painful sensations. The leaking blood is not the only problem; there is a risk of infection. Diagnostic procedures include interviewing the patient. If the damage is insignificant, digital or instrumental diagnostics are performed with preliminary anesthesia.

If there is heavy bleeding and severe pain, the patient undergoes sigmoidoscopy or anoscopy. Before the procedure, the patient is given a strong painkiller. Based on the examination results, the doctor makes a conclusion about the nature and extent of the damage, and treatment is prescribed.

The effectiveness of therapy for the diagnosis of anal fissure is 70%. First of all, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of constipation and the appearance of hard stool. Nutrition correction is carried out, alcohol, hot and spicy foods, fatty foods, as well as foods rich in preservatives and negatively affecting the digestive process are completely removed from the diet.

As a means of treatment, suppositories and ointments with antiseptic, wound healing and soothing effects are used. The doctor may also recommend baths with decoctions of medicinal herbs (chamomile, etc.). in severe cases, it requires removal of the crack using surgery.

Haemorrhoids

Both women and men are susceptible to this pathological process. The disease more often manifests itself in old age. According to medical statistics, almost 80% of older men and women are susceptible to hemorrhoids. The patient is found to have red blood from the anus during bowel movements. What to do in such a situation? To determine the direction of subsequent therapy, diagnostics should be performed.

Most often, patients notice the appearance of blood from the anus when they have a bowel movement on used napkins. The bloody discharge may contain feces. Red spots do not appear during stool; blood comes out immediately after bowel movement.

There may be light or stream bleeding, it depends on how badly the tissue is damaged.

To relieve symptoms and stop bleeding, doctors recommend using special suppositories. Today, the pharmaceutical industry offers a huge selection of suppositories for hemorrhoids on a plant basis and with the addition of vasoconstrictors and sedatives, which can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription. However, you still need to talk to your doctor first.

Oncology

Bleeding from the rectum is one of the signs of many diseases, including cancer. Even if a person says “I go to the toilet normally, and blood rarely appears,” an examination must be carried out. Rectal cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It accounts for 45% of diagnoses. Bleeding may be accompanied by purulent discharge, pain and vomiting.

Currently, scientists cannot identify all the causes of the formation of cancerous tumors in the intestinal area. This means that analysis for tumors can be carried out on any person. However, doctors highlight a list of factors that contribute to the development of tumors. These include abuse of fatty and junk foods, alcohol, etc.

If a tumor is suspected, a colonoscopy is performed, during which it is necessary to detect a lump and take a tissue sample for a biopsy. After laboratory testing, it will be known whether the tumor is malignant or benign. One of the benign manifestations of neoplasms are polyps. They are found in 20% of patients and are successfully removed surgically.

Infectious diseases

If an infection enters the body, it can cause the development of serious diseases that cause bleeding from the anus. Symptoms are more severe when a person has just gone to the toilet. Intestinal infections are one of the most dangerous groups of diseases that cause anal bleeding.

First, there is an incubation process that is asymptomatic, during which time the infection spreads inside the intestine and affects the mucous membrane.

After infection of the body, diarrhea appears, which is accompanied by bloody discharge and an increase in body temperature. Vomiting is often associated with symptoms. Fever and skin rashes may occur. To establish a diagnosis, a stool test is performed. Treatment should be carried out in a hospital setting. Intestinal infections in the absence of quality medical care can lead to the death of the patient.

Other reasons

The doctor will tell you how to treat colitis in the same way. There are several methods of therapy. Colitis and other inflammations in the rectal area are more common in elderly patients.

These diseases are accompanied by stool disorders and painful sensations.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are caused by small ulcers that form on the lining of the intestines. Inflammation joins the wounds, the patient feels pain, diarrhea begins and the body temperature rises. Treatment of this condition is a complex and lengthy process that must take place under strict medical supervision. The basis of therapy is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

When urgent help is needed

• If a person has severe bleeding from the anus, you should immediately call an ambulance. You should not go to the hospital on your own using public transport. If the patient suffers from bleeding, this may cause fainting and worsening of the condition. Heavy bleeding is always recognized as an emergency situation when the patient needs qualified medical care.
• If you are bleeding from your anus for long enough and the bleeding does not stop, even if it is not severe, go to the doctor immediately.
• The appearance of bloody or regular vomiting along with blood from the anus in women and men threatens the patient’s life. This manifestation of the disease is a reason for immediate hospitalization.
• When the appearance of blood from the anus is complemented by a general deterioration in the patient’s condition, you should immediately call a doctor or take the victim to the hospital. Most likely, hospitalization will be required.
• If the patient has bleeding and the body temperature rises, you should immediately consult a doctor. No matter whether it is even a small amount of blood, a high temperature implies an inflammatory process or infection.

Only a qualified doctor, after examination, tests and diagnostic procedures, can answer the question of why there is bleeding from the anus. These are not typical male or female problems. The appearance of these unpleasant symptoms is accompanied by awkwardness. However, a visit to the doctor cannot be postponed.
