Hi

. Maroon-colored blood or brown blood usually suggest that the blood is coming from the lower part of the GI tract (large bowel or rectum).

Hemorrhoids and diverticulitis (inflammation of an abnormal pouch in the colon) are the most common causes of lower GI bleeding

Other causes are:

Anal fissures

  • Diverticular bleeding
  • Intestinal infection (such as bacterial enterocolitis)
  • Vascular malformation
  • Inflammatory bowel disease

    • He need:

  • Blood studies, including a CBC
  • Colonoscopy
  • Gastroscopyor EGD
  • Barium studies
  • Stool culture
  • X-rays of the abdomen
  • Sonogram abdomen

    • So I advice him to consult gastroenterologist soon.

    Hope this helps
