Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Kindly provide your report for giving more comment. In such case stool routine micro examination, occult blood test and stool culture done, If needed endoscopy also should be done. Avoid excess spicy foods. During endoscopy if any abnormal area found than biopsy taken for histopathology examination. Consult gastroenterologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
