My husband has been experiencing rectal bleeding consistently for the past year, which has recently increased to almost every day. He is 37 years old, not on any medications, and has no history of constipation. The blood is bright red, and he occasionally has blood clots. He also feels bloated often, has fatigue, brain fog, and after bleeding, he feels pain inside his stomach, particularly on the right and left sides. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should be considered?
