Passing Blood When I Wee, Rectal Bleeding, And Hair Loss?
Posted by: in Hair Loss Causesi know i shouldn’t ask on here but ive now become worried. i pass blood when i wee, although not a lot, when im constipated i pass blood too, ive also noticed my once very very thick hair is now so thin, and im loosing a brush full every time i was and brush my hair. the dr cant find anything wrong and ive had a cancer test which came back as normal, i had blood clot on the lung 2 years ago and now on warfarin, but the clinic said this shouldn’t make me bleed and loose hair, ive also started having nose bleeds, should i demand another cancer test, should i take supplements for hair loss? if so which ones would you recommend? thanks in advance to all answers. xxxxxx

I don’t know what kind of cancer test you are referring to. Ther isn’t a single test for cancer and running tumor markers on you blood does not diagnose cancer. If they were looking for a GI cancer you would have been scoped and there would be no reason to repeat them again so soon. You need to keep going back to your doctor until you find the cause. Sometimes this takes several visits. If you decide to take supplements tell your doctor about it.

You should be checked for Thrombocytopenia purpura. Many heparin drugs can cause this. I had Idiopathic Immuno Thrombocytopenia Purpura, i had the bleeding nose, the thinning hair and some minor bruising. It’s an easy blood test, if you havent had this test, get it. Even to put your mind at ease and rule it out. Good luck!

These are very serious symptoms. It could be an illness or it could be a really bad reaction to medication. Look at the side effects of any medication you are taking. Those are listed on the sheet that the pharmacy gives you. I think you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. If you don’t think that your doctor is giving you the care you need than go to a different doctor. These are all just suggestions, but it seems like you know there is something wrong with you so get checked out just to be sure.

I would definitely go back to the doctor for a repeat blood test – a comprehensive one that is – i.e. liver, bone, kidney profiles; full blood count, Ca 125 (the cancer marker test if you didn’t know it); iron levels, glucose levels, thyroid – the works in other words. I don’t want to put the fear of God up you but you must get it checked out again, judging by the amount of symptoms you have. Good luck, my dear.

You are entitled to a second medical opinion – don’t worry about what it might be – find out what it is. The very best of luck.

Please make an URGENT appointment with your GP.

Thrombocytopenia Purpura is a distinct possibility, however, for the blood test for Thrombocytopenia Purpura, go to another clinic besides the one that you are currently going to. Also have them do an abdominal ultrasound or CT to check for internal bleeding in th GI tract. Repeating that cancer test wouldn’t be such a bad idea as well. (have them do a test for LDH levels)
UPDATE: I am slightly concerned about that wafarin, why are you taking it? Also, when you go to the doctor, have them do an abdominal ultrasound or CT. The wafarin could have been causing the rectal and urinal bleeding.
