The blood in your stool during typhoid recovery could indicate:
Typhoid-related intestinal bleeding from ulcers in the terminal ileum
Gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which occurs in about 10% of typhoid cases
Piles related
Next Steps
Urgent consultation with your treating physician
Blood tests to check hemoglobin levels and platelet count
Stool examination for occult blood
Possible colonoscopy or endoscopy to identify the bleeding source
Warning Signs
Seek immediate emergency care if you experience:
Severe abdominal pain
Large amounts of blood in stool
Dizziness or fainting
Rapid heartbeat
Health Tips
