Blood in stool?

Question

For about 1 week I have had on and off lower stomach pain on the right side. Recently in the past two days it has become almost constant. The pain is very dull and annoying and at times can really hurt. Also in the past 1 or 2 days the pain has moved to my lower left side oo, although it is not constant. Just last night I was doubled up after a sudden severe pain in my lower left side. This only lasted about 40 seconds.
* The pain on the right side is near the appendix( I HAVE had mine out)
* The pain sometimes moves up the right side and can be anywhere alond the right abdomen up untill about the ribs.
* I have pain after eating around the area in between my ribs.
* It hurts to push in on right side.
* 3 bloody stools in bout 2 and a half weeks.
* Pain when emptying bowels ( Lower right side)
* I only empty bowels pretty much every 4 days - there is no strain when doing this and it comes easily apart from the lower right side pain - NOT constipated
* also lost appetite

* booked in for colonoscopy in 2 weeks
* Female Teenager
* this is NOT period problems

Has anyone been through this or does anyone know what my symptoms mean?
Thanks heaps and only sensible answers please!!

Answer 1

You may have Crohn's disease! I have had it for over 15yrs. It is very painful and you have a lot of the symptoms that you are having! I am glad that you are having a colonoscopy, that will help them rule Crohn's out or in! It is a hard disease to live with, but it is treatable with steroids and other meds. It may go into remission for short or long periods of time, it just depends on the severity of your case. Make sure you have a Great Gastroentorolegist. One that you can trust and one that genuinely cares for you and your health, not just the money. It could also be Diverticulosis/Diverticulitis,Colitis,Irritable Bowel Syndrome,Ulcerative Colitis to name a few or it could be something else. I am glad you are going to the doctor and I pray you will be feeling better soon and I wish you the best of luck in finding out what is wrong and making it better! God Bless you! If You find you do have Crohn's Disease, IBD, Ulcerative Colitis, please feel free to email me, I have them all and will be glad to answer any questions I can for you! Again God Bless!
What are the symptoms of Crohn's disease?

Common symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Less common symptoms include poor appetite, fever, night sweats, rectal pain, and rectal bleeding. The symptoms of Crohn's disease are dependent on the location, the extent, and the severity of the inflammation. The different subtypes of Crohn's disease and their symptoms are:

1. Crohn's colitis is inflammation that is confined to the colon. Abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea are the common symptoms. Anal fistulae and peri–rectal abscesses also can occur.

2. Crohn's enteritis refers to inflammation confined to the small intestine (the first part, called the jejunum or the second part, called the ileum). Involvement of the ileum alone is referred to as Crohn's ileitis. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the common symptoms. Obstruction of the small intestine also can occur.

3. Crohn's terminal ileitis is inflammation that affects only the very end of the small intestine (terminal ileum), the part of the small intestine closest to the colon. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the common symptoms. Small intestinal obstruction also can occur.

4. Crohn's entero–colitis and ileo–colitis are terms to describe inflammation that involve both the small intestine and the colon. Bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain are the common symptoms. Small intestinal obstruction also can occur.

Crohn's terminal ileitis and ileo–colitis are the most common types of Crohn's disease. (Ulcerative colitis frequently involves only the rectum or rectum and sigmoid colon at the distal end of the colon. These are called ulcerative proctitis and procto–sigmoiditis, respectively.)

Up to one third of patients with Crohn's disease may have one or more of the following conditions involving the anal area:

1. Swelling of the tissue of the anal sphincter, the muscle at the end of the colon that controls defecation.

2. Development of ulcers and fissures (long ulcers) within the anal sphincter. These ulcers and fissures can cause bleeding and pain with defecation.

3. Development of anal fistulae (abnormal tunnels) between the anus or rectum and the skin surrounding the anus). Mucous and pus may drain from the openings of the fistulae on the skin.

4. Development of peri–rectal abscesses (collections of pus in the anal and rectal area). Peri–rectal abscesses can cause fever, pain and tenderness around the anus.

Answer 3

You could have a bowel obstruction or twisted intestins.Sometimes with a bowel obstruction you bm will go around it which explains the pain,same with the instestin being twisted.Another thought is you could have a pocket in that area also , it's when your intestins have an upsidedown comma which keeps some of the stool behind and will accumulate creating blockage which also causes allot of pain at tmes and why you don't have a bowel movement but every four days.All of this can raise cane with your appetite. I.would recomend eating soft foods till your appiontment.Did you tell the nurse or receptionist your exact problem like you did on yahoo.If they knew they wold want you in sooner as this could be pretty serious.Get well and God Bless!

Answer 4

I have had two colostomies ( not sure if this is spelled right). I had terrible diareah( spelling?) and also stomach pains that would leave me doubled over in pain until I passed everything out. The doctor finally ended up doing a blood test. I found out that I have Celiac Disease. All that is is that I am allergic to the glutin ( it is in all things that have wheat in them).
Look up the symptoms and see if you have any of the symptoms. The doctor put me on Prilosac ( what is for heartburn). It really helps - and usually works in an hour or so.
Good luck and I hope that you feel better.

Answer 8

The most common causes of hemorrhoids are straining during bowel movements and obesity. Follow these essential hemorrhoid prevention tips and you may not even have to delve into any hemorrhoid treatments https://tr.im/VAWhU

If you’re straining during bowel movements, there is no doubt that you are suffering from constipation, and obesity only heightens your chance of experiencing these digestive issues. The best solution for hemorrhoids is to not have them at all!

If it gets worse, go to the ER, this is nothing to mess with. They'll probably find out it's something easily cured but don't mess about with this.
