Get checked: 3 years of bleeding is of concern and needs more tests. Depends on person's age, and tests already done. Could be related to colon or from something called endometriosis or uterine tissue built up in different places., or other reasons. Don't ignore!

A complete exam?: Has she had a colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and cystoscopy? If she is bleeding that much the source should be visible. Another exam is a pill capsule video endoscopy. Make sure she has seen a good gastroenterologist and urologist.

Worrisome: It can be a number of things. She needs a full evaluation by a GI specialist, a urologist and possibly a gyn specialist to come up with diagnosis.
