What’s Wrong with Me? Blood in Stool, Diarrhoea and Painful Abdomen

Female, 30 years old, constipation for 3 weeks, diarrhoea with blood in stool and increasing discomfort in stomach.

 

Question

Three weeks ago, I had difficulty passing stools which contained some blood, but I just ignored it because I had experienced it frequently before, especially when I was busy. However, the situation has become worse recently and my belly is swollen and painful. Also I am now suffering from diarrhoea with blood in the stool. Additionally, my stomach is uncomfortable but I have a regular diet. Could you tell me what’s wrong with me? Do I have stomach cancer? I am very scared… 

Main Symptoms

  Diarrhoea

•  Blood in stool 

•  Abdominal pain 

•  Constipation 

•  Stomach pain 

Answer

Based on your description, I primarily diagnose you may have a digestive problem and are especially prone to ulcerative colitis which is an inflammation of the big intestine, not cancer, so you don’t need to worry too much. I recommend you take the relevant tests like colonoscopy and stool routine, which helps to define the explicit root of your illness. Ulcerative colitis is actually caused by an acute digestive inflammation without complete cure, thus leading to chronic disease. Inappropriate lifestyles and dietary habits like preferences for cold food or drink are triggers of this disease.


Here are some suggestions for you:

1. Follow a balanced diet and good eating habits as advised by your doctor.

2. To improve the nutritious state of your body and get rid of inflammation in the digestive system, try strengthening exercises, avoid excessive tension and stress and concentrate on promoting your physical and mental health.

3. Regular examination helps to diagnose and treat ulcerative colitis early.

4. Subsequent visits to your doctor are necessary for you to prevent the disease deteriorating.


And finally, the specific prescription should be based on your test results and diagnosis. All the best!
