subject: Blood On Toilet Paper Can Be A Symptom Of A Number Of Possible Disorders [print this page] Blood on toilet paper is a symptom of a number of possible disorders. It may result from an anal fissure or a more serious malady. In any case this symptom definitely warrants an examination by a gastroenterologist. Dr. Dipti Bavishi is a leading physician who practices at the Dr. Dipti Bavishi Gastroenterology Clinic. Dr. Bavishi is double board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and has been practicing medicine since 1995. She is a highly skilled specialist in diseases and disorders of the digestive system. She believes in continuing education and research for the advancement of medical knowledge.
One very common malady that Dr. Bavishi encounters routinely is indigestion. If you have chronic indigestion, or heartburn that does not respond well to over the counter antacids, then you should consult a gastroenterologist. Heartburn treatment typically starts with over the counter medications and if it continues, stronger prescription drugs and occasionally surgery may be needed. Dr. Bavishi may also suggest changes in diet and other lifestyle habits to diminish the problem, or to enhance treatment. She is a great proponent of preventive medicine.
