Article: Any time you experience rectal bleeding, it is important to visit your doctor and have any serious causes ruled out or identified. Seek urgent medical care if: Rectal bleeding is accompanied by a fever or nausea. Your skin turns pale and sweaty while you are experiencing rectal bleeding. You experience severe abdominal cramps. As an initial test, your doctor may perform a digital and visual anal and rectal examination. The doctor will use a gloved finger to inspect your anus and lower rectum for trauma, hemorrhoids, or the presence of a foreign body. The doctor may also feel and apply pressure to your abdomen externally. They'll feel for any odd lumps or potential tumors inside your body. If the visual examination proves inconclusive, the doctor may request a sample of blood, stool, or both. A blood test will allow the doctor to determine how much blood you have lost and if your blood is able to clot adequately. The doctor or a nurse can draw the blood sample while you're in the office. Both the blood sample and stool sample will need to be sent to an off-site lab for examination. The results may take up to a week to be returned. In some cases, your doctor may decide that a colonoscopy is needed to determine the cause or location of your rectal bleeding. When performing a colonoscopy, the doctor will insert a flexible plastic tube with a camera attached into your rectum. This allows the doctor to have a clearer image of your rectum and will allow them to determine the cause of your rectal bleeding. Instead of a colonoscopy, the doctor may prefer a different type of internal examination, including an endoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. If your doctor is able to see an obvious external source for the bleeding, such as hemorrhoids, you may not need to receive a colonoscopy. They may still recommend an internal examination to rule out cancer or other serious underlying causes, however. If you're 40 or older, your doctor will recommend a colonoscopy to rule out the possibility of colon cancer causing your rectal bleeding. Your doctor may prescribe to you a number of different medications, depending on the specific causes of your rectal bleeding. These could include a stool softener, pain medication, an iron supplement to increase your body's blood production, and a medication to constrict blood vessels and decrease bleeding. If you have hemorrhoids, the doctor may also provide a hemorrhoid cream or a steroid cream to reduce rectal inflammation.

Q: If you are using whole cloves, use clean hands to place five to ten cloves in the one ounce jar. If you are using ground cloves, you can place cup of ground cloves into a 12 ounce jar. If you decide to use a higher amount of cloves in the oil, keep in mind the oil will be more potent and you may need to use less of it when applying it to your skin. Once the cloves are in the jar, slowly pour the olive oil in the jar until it sits one inch above the cloves in the jar. If you are using ground cloves, you will pour one cup of olive oil into a 12 ounce jar. Let the one cup of olive oil drain into the jar completely. Make sure the jar is well sealed before you shake the jar three to four times. This will ensure the cloves and the oil are well combined. The cloves and the olive oil need time to interact so the olive oil can extract the chemical properties of the cloves. You should let the jar sit in a cool dark place and ensure it is sealed well to avoid any contamination of the oil. After ten to fourteen days, you will have useable clove oil. You can decide to keep the whole or ground cloves in the oil or strain out the cloves. This is based on preference and is not required to use the clove oil. To strain out the cloves, place the cheesecloth or the coffee filter over a clean glass jar. Keep the cloth or filter in place with a rubber band around the top of the glass jar. Slowly pour the oil over the cloth or filter into the clean glass jar. The cloves will then be strained out of the oil. If you decide not to strain out the whole cloves or ground cloves, you can use the same cloves several times by filling the jar up again with olive oil and letting it sit for ten to fourteen days. After two to three uses, you should replace the old cloves with fresh cloves.
A:
Place the whole cloves into the glass jar. Fill the jar with olive oil to one inch above the line of cloves. Seal and shake the jar. Let the jar sit for ten to fourteen days. Strain out the cloves if desired.
