- Pulse rate and blood pressure lying and sitting to assess the amount of blood loss
- Look for signs of shock due to massive blood loss - e.g. cold extremities, clammy skin, shortness of breath, anxiety, low blood pressure, elevated pulse rate.
- Examine for signs of chronic liver disease and portal hypertension - e.g. bruising, jaundice, enlarged liver and spleen, abdominal distension due to ascetic fluid, ankle swelling.
- Abdominal palpation for mass or tenderness
- Examine the external anal area looking for anal fissure or external hemorrhoids
- Examine for signs of bleeding disorders - e.g. bruising , bleeding gums, swollen painful joints.

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Rectal bleeding.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you been having the rectal bleeding? - to establish if acute or chronic.
- How often does the rectal bleeding occur?
- Is it severe? - presence of severe rectal bleeding would suggest angiodysplasia, ulcerative colitis, amebic dysentery, bacillary dysentery, intussusception, mesenteric thrombosis or embolism, diverticulitis, ischemic colitis and coagulation disorders. The site of the bleeding can be anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract since massive bleeding even from the stomach or duodenum may pass rapidly to rectum without becoming discolored to form melena (black tarry stool).
- Is the bleeding mixed well with the stool? - suggests colon cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Meckel's diverticulum, diverticulitis, large polyp and coagulation disorder.
- Is the blood on the toilet paper only? - this suggests an anal cause.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Rectal bleeding) may include:

- Fever? - may suggest bacterial dysentery, amebic dysentery, chronic liver disease secondary to alcoholism, ulcerative colitis.
- Easy bruising? - purpura ( multiple small hemorrhages into the skin or mucous membranes); petechiae (small pinhead size purpura); ecchymoses ( large purpura) - may suggest a bleeding disorder.
- Symptoms of intestinal obstruction? - e.g. colicky abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distension and absolute constipation - would suggest intussusception, mesenteric thrombosis, or embolism.
- Painful bowel movements? - anal fissure, thrombosed hemorrhoid or ulcerative proctitis.
