What Is The Treatment For Bowel Disorders?

I am a 43 y/o white male recently I have had problems with bowel movements that contain mucus and blood, more so than fecal matter, this morning I had an episode where I had a uncontrolled BM while sleeping and the consistency of what was in my boxers had a very foul odor and consisted more of mucus and blood than fecal matter what could possibly be causing this to happen, I am just seeking an opinion. thought the questionnaire was free to get me going in the right direction as far as seeking medical help, no disrespect,but I can put this $15 towards seeing a real md. thanks anyway

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bowel disorders. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome, medication reaction or side-effect, gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, food poisoning or viral gastroenteritis and mainly due to lack of fibres in diet leading to constipation. Need not to worry. You should give diet to child rich in fibres. I would suggest you to avoid eating heavy and spicy , eat small and frequent meals, eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history. Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
