What causes bleeding through anus while taking fat burning medication?
Patient: Hi there I recently started taking fat burners and at the end of the course when going to the toilet and wiping my bottom there was just pure blood there but no blood actually in my stool. But when not taking them for a couple of months have been absolutley fine I started taking them again yesterday and my first time going to the toilet exactly the same thing again nothing actually in my stool but just pure blood when wiping Doctor: HiThe name of the drug has not been mentioned.Drugs that increase the risk of constipation can cause bleeding.Since it is fresh blood it should be arising from lower gastrointestinal tract.If constipation is the cause,laxatives can be used and the symptoms can be checked.In the absence of constipation,it is better to avoid the drug.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. RegardsDr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
