Bleeding gums and bleeding in stool

2020-08-04 12:26:41
I have been having bleeding in my gums since the past 8-9 months. However, by the usage of a gum astringent and changing my dental hygiene, the bleeding has reduced, but not completely. Since the past 2-3 days I have been passing some blood in my stool. It is bright red in colour and very diluted blood. Are they related problems and how can I make it better?

Bleeding gums could be local cause but blood in stools needs detail history and evaluation.

Blood in stool can be due to fissure or piles.

Check your CBC, PT/INR, LFT and USG abdomen. And please see a physician in general medicine.
