Case description

It is usually sudden in onset, painless and substantial. Diverticulosis is the cause in 30 to 50 percent of cases with massive bleeding from the colon. However, the bleeding stops spontaneously in most patients. In some cases, the bleeding may continue intermittently for a few hours to a few days before resolving.
