Lower Gi Bleeding
Lower Gastrointestinal Bleed is the bleeding originating from the lower GI tract, i.e., colon, rectum, and anus. If blood seeps into the GI tract, it signifies a severe injury or disorder in any of its parts. The amount of blood loss due to GI bleeding can range from mild to severe and life-threatening if not treated in time.
