A member asked:
Does minor intestinal bleeding cause abdominal pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not always.: Blood is a cathartic agent. Therefore, when it is present inside the intestine in significant amounts, like a bleeding ulcer, will cause cramping abdominal pain and diarrhea. Bleeding from a tumor tends to bleed slowly like a leaking faucet and may cause no symptoms. Of course, there is no such thing as minor intestinal bleeding--the source of the bleeding must always be investigated.

Pain: Or is your question, " do painful abdominal problems cause intestinal bleeding"? -sometimes yes, sometimes no. Bleeding itself won't cause pain, but what is causing the bleeding might (or not).
