Losing weight without trying, experiencing persistent fatigue or being diagnosed with iron-deficiency anaemia can sometimes indicate bleeding, inflammation or another condition affecting the digestive system.

These symptoms have many possible causes and do not necessarily mean that you have a serious illness. However, they should be assessed, particularly if they occur alongside rectal bleeding, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits.

An early specialist consultation can help identify the cause and arrange any necessary blood tests, scans or bowel investigations.
