What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain?

I have been to the toilet 5-6 times now. Last night sit was light brown and red like pure blood. With terrible abdominal pain on lower left side with copious amounts of gurgling. It has woken me twice, the pain. It s remains there like a cramp, and now there was gas followed by mucus and a trace of pink( blood) smells a bit fishy too

HI

Thanks for posting your query .

It seems like you are suffering from Dysentery . Dysentery could be due to bacterial or parasitic infection . It has to be found out what is causing dysentery . I advise you to get Stool routine and stool for Ova and cyst test done . This test will tell whether your dysentery is due to bacterial or parasitic infection.


Also it's better to start antibiotics till you get the reports of the test. Ask your doctor for the prescription for antibiotics .

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
