ACCEPTED Check Mark

This is a sign of upper intestional tract bleeding if this is a redder color blood, it could be from an ulcer, a symptom of throat cancer, or even a problem with her gallbladder. She should have further evaluation as soon as she can if this has been going on for a few years. It can cause problems with other organs if she delays treatment any longer and they need to determine exactly where aling the intestional tract the bleeding is coming from. If it is ulcer related they can prescribe Nexium or Prevacid before it ruptures. If it is due to her gallbladder they have medication that will help with this as well, but no matter what she needs to be seen anytime that blood is present.
