Gastrointestinal abnormalities are one of the most common health problems. In fact, the human digestive tract is extremely sensitive and prone to bleeding, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, diarrhea or constipation, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).
Severe abdominal pain accompanied by gastrointestinal bleeding is a sign of a serious illness that requires immediate medical intervention.
There are many causes of gastrointestinal illness, from eating foods contaminated with pathogens to contracting some serious diseases. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a symptom that should not be ignored. The most common sign is blood in the stool. Blood in the stool can be bright red or black like tar.
Common causes of this condition include anal fissures, colitis, colon polyps or rectal cancer. Patients need urgent medical intervention when gastrointestinal bleeding is accompanied by the following symptoms:
Severe abdominal pain
Abdominal pain is one of the most common symptoms of gastrointestinal disease. The pain can be dull or severe, and it can be constant or intermittent. This condition can sometimes cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Common causes of both abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding include irritable bowel syndrome, gallstones, or pancreatitis.
Vomiting blood
Another warning sign besides severe abdominal pain is vomiting blood. This usually indicates that the bleeding is in the upper digestive tract such as the esophagus, stomach or small intestine. The cause is due to inflammation of the lining of the stomach or small intestine, the appearance of tumors or trauma.
Recurrent diarrhea
Diarrhea is a very common problem. However, if diarrhea recurs and persists, do not ignore it. This condition may be related to food poisoning, severe gastrointestinal infection or rectal cancer.
Pain around the navel
Pain around the belly button is usually caused by minor digestive issues like indigestion or constipation. But in some cases, the pain is caused by an abdominal hernia, which occurs when part of an internal organ, such as the intestines, begins to protrude through the muscle through a hernia. Symptoms include pain around the belly button and bleeding, according to Medical News Today.
