Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool And Dizziness

I had foot surgery a month ago and been on pain killers (ibuprofen based). I ve been nauseous lately on and off, just went to the bathroom and had blood in my stool. The nausea came on, with some dizziness. Not vomiting, but burping a lot. My fingers feel a little tingly too. I m worried it s not just blood from constipation at this point...

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have blood in stool which needs investigation...

First rule out common causes...
Starting from piles by proctoscopic examination....
It might reveal piles , fissure or rectal ulcer if present....

Second severe colitis can lead it....
Stool examination done..
If shows pus cells also then dysentery might be cause....
For that antibiotic given like cefixime.
If show egg of ameba then amebic dysentery is the cause....
For that ornidazole given....

Maintain hydration with lots of fluid and fruit juice....
Excess spicy food avoided...

If still cause not clear colonoscopy done with biopsy for rule out causes like lymphicytic colitis , inflammatory bowel disease , microscopic colitis etc...

Keeping these in mind consult gastroentetologist...

Take care.
