What Causes Sharp Stomach Pain And Blood In Stool?
Question: For the past three weeks when ever I eat or sometimes within a hour of eating I have to use the restroom. I have sharp pain in my stomach and all that comes out is a light brown slime with fresh blood mixed in.
Brief Answer:
need colonoscopy by a gastroenterologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I read your query and understood your problem.
There are multiple reasons when someone complaints of passing motions after eating or even drinking.
It could be irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel syndrome or diverticulosis which is resulting in fresh blood in stools or just a infection of intestines.
As there is blood coming out I strongly suggest you to undergo a colonoscopy which is done by gastroenterologist so as we can actually visualize what is wrong and in which segment.
If diverticulitis is present then it needs to be diagnosed and treatment will be needed.
Even ibd will require to see the colon and if required to take a biopsy for histopathology examination.
Its very difficult to diagnose just from history and will require further investigations.
I cannot tell the remedy for it now as the exact cause is not known and treatment differs for diffrent disease.
Hence I would advice you to consult a gastroenterologist for further workup and colonoscopy to arrive at a diagnosis.
I hope this advice helps you.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
Thank you
