Abstract :

 

Introduction: Bright red bleeding per rectum indicates bleeding from the lower GI tract occurring from colon, rectum, or anus. Dull acing abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, anemia, and weight loss may be associated symptoms. Methods: 100 patients with complaints of per rectal bleeding were selected from general OPD and wards. All were subjected to flexible Fiber–optic Colonoscopy. Results: 100 patients were divided into 3 groups based only on their age alone. 34 were females and 66 males, Mean ± SD: 49.18±16.55. There was a high yield of positive findings in 75 patients. 25 patients (8 females,23.5%) and (17 male 25.8% ) n=25 were having normal colonoscopic findings. 20 patients, 7 females (20.6%) and 13 males (19.7%) had hemorrhoids as the most common findings. Conclusion: Hemorrhoids is the most common cause of per rectal bleeding followed by IBD and cancers. These findings differ from studies done in western countries.
