I was recently diagnosed with Extensive
DVT and I am wondering about blood in mt
stool. Is this a normal thing or something
to be concerned about? I just scheduled
an appointment with my primary doc. But
will not be able to see her for about
another week. After spending over a week
in the hospital I am in no rush to return
there if there is no need. I have back and
side pain and am wondering if I may be
bleeding internally with out knowing it.
Any advice would be great thanks. I am a
26 year old female if that helps any.

Are you taking a blood
thinner/anticoagulant? This can cause
bleeding because it inhibits the clotting
mechanisms in the blood. If you keep
experiencing this you should contact your
doctor or his/her nurse and report the
bleeding.
