A member asked:
Can you tell me how is the doctor going to check/treat me for rectal bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Considering your age: a simple rectal exam in the office and if no pathology found, probably a colonoscopy and possible upper endoscopy of your stomach especially if you have not had a recent screening colonoscopy based on your age.
