My partner is 7 weeks pregnant. Had an ultrasound last week and they saw a heartbeat and a sac. She had a little bleeding a few weeks ago but the dr said it was an implantation bleed. She is not bleeding now, the tests were really dark for the last few weeks and now they are getting lighter.
GI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.
Also, those with symptoms of chronic GI bleeding should seek medical attention in order to find the source of their bleeding. Causes of bleeding in the stomach can include: Ulcers: Ulcers may enlarge and erode through a blood vessel, causing bleeding. Gastritis. Cancer. Gastric varices. Dieulafoy lesions.
