My partner is 7 weeks pregnant. Had an ultrasound last week and they saw a heartbeat and a sac. She had a little bleeding a few weeks ago but the dr said it was an implantation bleed. She is not bleeding now, the tests were really dark for the last few weeks and now they are getting lighter.
GI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.
Mayo Clinic accepts appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System sites. Mayo Clinic specialists have a variety of treatment options, depending on the source of your GI bleeding: Endoscopic cryotherapy freezes abnormal blood vessels in the stomach. 2  Endoscopic intravariceal cyanoacrylate injection uses a special glue to treat difficult bleeding from varices in the stomach. 3  Angiographic embolization injects particles directly into a blood vessel to stop bleeding.
