Hi

Thanks for posting your on XXXXXXX

In the scenario of abdominal pain or pelvic discomfort, it is important to get investigations done like ultrasound, urinalysis etc. Blood in stools also requires similar tests.

It seems to be colitis. Colitis can be due to many reasons.

My recommendation is that you should first see a general surgeon. He will be able to narrow down the diagnosis and will be able to recommend a super-specialist. In your case, gastroenterologist will get involved and if the kidney are getting affected than a nephrologist will get involved.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards

Dr Vaishalee
