Signs and symptoms of INTERNAL BLEEDING are:
bruised,swollen, tender or rigid abdomen
bruises on chest or signs of fractured ribs
blood in vomit
wounds that have penetrated the chest or abdomen
bleeding from the rectum or vagina
abnormal pulse and difficulty breathing
cool, moist skin
First aid in the field for internal bleeding is limited. If the injury appears to be a simple bruise, apply cold packs to slow bleeding, relieve pain and reduce swelling. If you suspect more severe internal bleeding, carefully monitor the patient and be prepared to administer CPR if required (and you are trained to do so). You should also reassure the victim, control external bleeding, care for shock (covered in next section), loosen tight-fitting clothing and place victim on side so fluids can drain from the mouth.
the second link has a wealth of information
my mom had a coloscopy done. afterwards the thing she mostly complained about was that she had NO ENERGY. that's what everyone talked about at the funeral. she kept calling the doctor and he just gave her a prescription for something. about a week or two later she vomited and died. i don't know all the details, because at the time i was very sick and in the hospital in another state. my family has "shielded" me from the whole story.
follow ur instints. if that doctor won't help u, find another.
best wishes.

You need to be checked at the Local hospital or by your Doctor. One way to know that your bleeding,is that your bowel movement will be black. Severe constipation. But for sure your bowel movement is black. Go to the Emergency Room, now.

Black or tarry stool. Blood in the stool. Severe bruising. Vomiting blood, or what looks like coffee grounds. If you have any of this call 911 NOW!

The doctor should have sent home a checklist of items to watch out for, so what gives? If you feel bad, go to the hospital, why are you asking us?

well you will start to look bruised all over that area and you may vomit blood or emit some in your stools... but thats not something to be screwing with. if you think something is wrong go to the ER now!

Blood in the stool, possible abdominal pains. Better go to the doc.

I assume it would be painful, if concerned I would go to the ER to get checked out. Better to be safe than sorry. Good Luck! =)

Cherry kool aid trickles out of the side of your mouth. That's how we could tell when we were kids.
