Rupture organs, ulcers.\n\nGo to the ER now.  It's a very serious thing to be bleeding internally.  It's worth it to go to the ER, or an Urgent Care clinic, or any other clinic right now.

u might be pregnant and the bleeding u had was probably implantation bleeding( when the fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium)

Okay, go ahead and get the second reference, but at the sime time, I don't think you need to worry about internal bleeding. Gyns can tell the difference between blood and menstrual blood.\n\nI hope this situation works out for you!

yes it can cause abdominal bleeding internally, especially motrin/ibuprofen.

It depends on the conditions that caused it to happen.  If it was rough sex, a little bleeding or spotting could be understood.  BUt if it happens again, check with your doctor, it could be a sign of a more serious problem.

It could be blood, something you ate, or you may be impacted and need an enema or laxative. I would go to the doctor for tests first to make sure you are all right.

Breakthrough bleeding is what it's called. Pretty common, could be caused by birth control pills etc. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but going to the gyno. is a good idea too.

Sometimes spotting can be an indication of pregnancy.\n\nGet a test a drugstore to find out just in case.\n\nOr maybe they were going at it roughly. That's happened to me. There are just some minor tears in her vaginal walls. They'll heal in a couple of days.

It could be a result of your birth control options, this is a question you should bring up with your doctor.. The only time i have bled like that was during a miscarriage, i know your on birth control but its never 100% sure.. go to the doctors, they can help you either way.

continuous menstrual bleeding can be a sign of something or nothing serious. Since you continue to have your periods if i understand what you said after the age of forty you have not yet reached menopause. However, you need a full gyn workup. If your cycle just needs to be re regulated, that is a simple process. If, on the other hand, the bleeding is caused by a uterine abnormality like hyperplasia or a mass, you may need  a d and c. either way, you need to go to the doctor sooner rather than later.. Good luck

If your mom has blood in her stool then she has a GI bleed somewhere.  If the blood is bright red then it is either a lower GI bleed or a brisk upper GI bleed.  Dark maroon or black stool suggests an upper GI bleed. If the source of the bleeding isn't found and stopped, she could be in trouble.  Did the docs do a colonoscopy? An upper endoscopy? They need to find out something.\n\nAlso, if her white count is up that indicates infection/inflammation somewhere.  Has she had chronic diarrhea?  She could be losing blood due to a parasitic infection, too. Too many possibilities to list here.

Hi! The hemorrhage is probably from her colon.She may have a tear or blockage in her intestines.If she is constipated,she could have ruptured/broken blood vessels. If she isn't constipated or feels she doesn't have a blockage, then the blood might be from a stomach ulcer.She's bleeding from somewhere and it's a shame that those doctors can't find where from.Maybe try another Dr.If the blood isn't in her urine, then you can rule out the kidneys.If it's not from her vagina, you can rule out her reproductive system.So...what's left!?Her colon/intestinal track.Good luck.

I would definately see another doctor for another opinion, as something is definately not right.  It is possible that it could have shifted, or even punctured your uterus.

You do not lose enough blood during your period for that to matter.\nYou can always ask your doctor.

Well there are lots of types of internal bleeds depending on location.  I am assuming your friend has a Upper GI bleed.  If someone is vomiting blood (hematemesis) it usually comes from either the esophagus or stomach.  Either sources can give bright red blood.  Is your friend an alcoholic?  Alcoholics tend to get what doctors call Mallory Weiss tears from vomiting too much.  These tears are generally located at the Lower Esophageal Sphincter where the esophagus joins with the stomach.\n\nIt could also be a stomach ulcer.  Stomach ulcers can result from taking too many NSAIDs (like aspirin and ibuprofen), having H. Pylori infection, stomach cancer, head trauma, severe bodily burns or genetic influences such as increase acid secretion or decreased Prostacyclin production.\n\nIf this person has any liver problems due to Hepatitis, chronic alcoholism, etc.  This can also cause rupture of the veins in the esophagus.  Liver problems causes a back of venous blood, which then try to bypass the liver by going through the veins of the esophagus, causing them to enlarger and thin out.  This puts a person at risk for esophageal venous rupture.\n\nAn endoscopy (a small camera is run down your esophagus into your stomach) is usually performed to locate the bleed and the bleed can either be sutured or cauterized.  After the surgery, a hemoccult test can be performed to check for bleeds that are not apparent.  This is simply done by smearing some feces on a little card which changes color if blood is present.\n\nBest answer?

I am neither a doctor or a nurse, but am however a Paramedic and a Certified Nursing Assistant.  You need to get to a doctor as it could be a sign of internal bleeding (does it look like coffee grounds), could be tuberculosis, possibly cancer, or even black lung.  Have you ever worked in a coal mine?  Done "dirty jobs" such as working in a steel mill?  Or it could be from something you ate and be totally harmless.  Make an appointment right away and have it tested just to be safe.  Good luck..

It could have been another miscarriage.  You really need to see an OB/GYN because it could also be a symptom of uterine fibroids.\nThis condition can cause miscarriage as well as heavy bleeding during periods. Most women don't even know they have fibroids until symptoms start appearing.  There is a non-invasive diagnostic test called an ultrasound to detect fibroids. There are a few treatments for this condition. Please see the doctor for a full pelvic exam as soon as possible. I hope this helps, you can find further information on webmd.com
