 | | Dyschezia or hematochezia is diagnosed upon a good medical history, a thorough physical examination, and an evaluation of the bowel movement. | | | The animal may have painful or difficult defecation (dyschezia) or it may have bright red blood in the bowel movement (hematochezia), or it may have both signs. | | | A fecal flotation may be performed to look for intestinal parasites (especially whipworms in dogs). |

| | Dieulafoy’s lesions of the rectum: A rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding |
| | The lesion was located just distal to a previous surgical anastomosis, and was successfully treated with adrenaline and electrocautery. | | | If they can be accurately located, endoscopic therapy in the form of adrenaline injection, sclerotherapy or cauterization appears to have long term success. | | | The present report details the case of a 72-year-old man who presented with massive hematochezia and who was discovered to have a Dieulafoy’s lesion within the rectum. |

| | UpToDate Approach to the adult patient with upper gastrointestinal bleeding |
| | The diagnostic and initial therapeutic approach to the patient with upper GI bleeding will be reviewed here. | | | In one series of 80 patients with severe hematochezia, for example, 74 percent had colonic lesions (primarily angiodysplasia, diverticula, and polyps or cancer), 11 percent had an upper GI lesion, 9 percent a presumed small bowel source, and no lesion site was identified in 6 percent [2]. | | | The presence of bilious fluid suggests that the pylorus is open and, if lavage is negative, that there is no active upper GI bleeding distal to the pylorus [2]. |

| | Moreover, chronic diseases of febrile disease may induce impairment of qi and yin or retention of blood stasis, resulting in hemorrhage elsewhere. | | | The common endogenous causative factors are immoderate diet, emotional upset, overstrain, pathological changes after a chronic disease or a febrile disease, etc. For example, over-intake of pungent and greasy foods may induce the retention of dampness-heat and damage the blood vessels, leading to hemoptysis and hematochezia. | | | Emotional upsets may induce the production of fire, during which the collaterals of the stomach may be injured by the hyperactive liver-qi and hematemesis occurs, or liver-fire attacks the lungs and leads to epistaxis and hemoptysis, or heart-fire attacks the small intestine and bladder, resulting in hematuria. |

| | It is commonly associated with lower gastrointestinal bleeding, most often due to either hemorrhoids or diverticulosis; however, it can be related to colon cancer, which is a potentially fatal illness. | | | However, since blood is a cathartic, sufficiently brisk bleeding from an upper source can be seen as hematochezia. | | | This page was last modified 23:28, 19 March 2005. |

| | Melena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Bleeding originating from the lower GI tract (such as the sigmoid colon and rectum) is generally associated with the passage of bright red blood, or hematochezia, particularly when brisk. | | | Blood acts as a cathartic agent in the intestine, promoting its prompt passage. | | | The black color is caused by oxidation of the iron in hemoglobin during its passage through the ileum and colon. |

| | Hematochezia usually results from lesions in the colon or terminal ileum while melena is typical of sources above the ligament of Treitz and upper small intestine. | | | Because blood is also a cathartic, profuse upper intestinal bleed can present as hematochezia; on the other hand, blood can become dark if it remains in the colon for a long enough time. | | | One of the first considerations is to determine whether blood is indeed present in the vomiting or stool. |

| | The visible evidence is described as hematemesis, hematochezia and/or melena. | | | Providing the patient’s response to IV volume replacement is satisfactory, one can make a decision as to the timing and type of investigation needed to identify the cause of bleeding. | | | When the passage of blood from either end of the GI tract has been reported but not observed, or when hematochezia or melena without hematemesis has been observed, the passage of a nasogastric tube for a single aspiration will help determine if bleeding is proximal or distal to the pylorus. |
