GI bleeding can occur in various parts of the digestive tract. When bleeding happens in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (initial part of the small intestine), it is classified as upper GI bleeding. Bleeding in the lower small intestine, large intestine, rectum, or anus is referred to as lower GI bleeding.
At R L Gastrocare Clinic, Dr. Rupesh Lunkad, a leading Gastroenterologist and Liver Specialist on Pune Satara Road, offers advanced endoscopic treatments for GI bleeding, ensuring precise diagnosis and effective management.

- Dark, sticky, tar-like stools (if bleeding originates from the stomach or upper GI tract).
